*1* Isolate yourself from news about the virus. (Everything we need to know, we already know).

*2*. Don't look for additional information on the Internet, it would weaken your mental state. 

*3.* Avoid sending fatalistic messages. Some people don't have the same mental strength as you (Instead of helping, you could activate pathologies such as depression).

*4.* If possible, listen to music at home at a pleasant volume. Look for board games to entertain children, tell stories and future plans. 

*5.* Maintain discipline in the home by washing your hands, putting up a sign or alarm for everyone in the house.

*6* Your positive mood will help protect your immune system, while negative thoughts have been shown to depress your immune system and make it weak against viruses.

*7.* Most importantly, firmly believe that this will pass and that the universe is in the hands of God. He is a God of love and not of punishment. 

 God bless you.
