For the past decades, we often hear/read the phrase “Prevention is better than cure.” With COVID-19 being categorized as Pandemic, NOW is the best time to put it into practice. NO EXCUSES!

And one of the effective ways of preventing yourself from getting this infection is by staying home.

With the implementation of Enhanced Community Quarantine, almost everyone is mandated to stay home. Only those with essential work or errands are allowed to go outside of their residences. Otherwise, you will be apprehended by authorities!

While a lot of people are cranky about staying home, complaining about how they can get through with their lives, some people are taking this opportunity to learn/discover about their selves and capabilities. I, for instance, have taken this time to perform things that are usually done by other people for me. And this includes baking pastries and making hazelnut butter.

Also, the ECQ has taught me to make homemade recipes instead of buying ready-made grocery items, such as strawberry jam.

Staying home is an excellent way of preventing/stopping the spread of COVID-19. Make your homestay productive and exciting by doing things that you haven’t done before and by improving your knowledge and skills. You can create your own homemade delicacies that your family will love or perhaps try backyard gardening. You will surely be amazed at how fun and easy things are made.

Most importantly, you will definitely become more confident and prouder of yourself once the quarantine is lifted. Think and act positive and hope that this health crisis will end soon!
