In addition, preventive measures that can also help you be better prepared to deal with new normal conditions is to have health insurance. Insurance indirectly affects mentally because it makes you calm because it is protected for certain conditions. Not only for yourself, but insurance also helps protect family or closest people.

By feeling calm and protected because you have insurance, your mental condition will be helped, especially in thinking about cost issues.
Stay clean and healthy while spending time at home
Limiting social interaction means that you need to spend time at home or in residence. Because viruses can also spread through inanimate objects, you need to routinely clean the house.
Clean areas or objects that are frequently in physical contact using disinfectants or soap, such as doorknobs, cabinets or refrigerators, work desks and kitchens, and items such as TV remotes.
Also, do simple exercises at home like yoga or jumping rope and eating nutritious foods, and stopping smoking.
Still resisting the urge to go to a crowded place
To follow the new order of life, you are indirectly also limited to go to places that are often encountered by many people. Like it or not, you have to start reducing gathering in places like restaurants, coffee shops, or even just hanging out in the park.
New normal or new life order will most likely change your routine and activities. But this is done for your own good and of course so that this pandemic really ends.
