Although I had started worrying and predicting a quarantine scenario since the COVID-19 was first spreading in China, I still went into panic mode when the time to go into quarantine came and I didn’t know how to prepare for it the adequate way.
The Coronavirus pandemic is new to us and as a result we don't yet have official answers to all our important questions. This uncertainty can be emotionally triggering for most people, especially for those suffering with anxiety and other mental illness. Having a general list of actions to rely to, might make things less difficult for everyone preparing to go into quarantine.
What does a quarantine mean for you?
Even if your state hasn’t required it yet, it would be wise to stay in as much as you can from this point onwards. You are still on time to slow down the spreading rhythm of this dangerous virus, thus protecting yourselves and your loved ones.
As a general rule, you will need enough of everything basic you and your family need to go through a 14 days minimum quarantine (or self isolation) without going out in case of getting sick. Grocery stores and pharmacies will remain open, but why risk going outside until absolutely necessary?
Where to start?
