It is important to bear in mind that there is a difference between the two terms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-self-isoaltion\">Self isoaltion<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>If you show symptoms of coronavirus &#8211; such as a dry cough and high temperature &#8211; you must&nbsp;stay at home&nbsp;and if possible, not leave it for any reason. This is known as&nbsp;self-isolation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If possible, you should try to get essentials delivered and avoid going outside to make purchases. If you do have to leave the house, you should limit as much social contact as possible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-social-distancing\">Social distancing <\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cdc.gov\/phlp\/docs\/social_distancing_law_template_072010.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"Social distancing (opens in a new tab)\">Social distancing<\/a> is deliberately increasing the physical space between people to avoid spreading illness. This is important as coronavirus spreads when an infected person coughs small droplets into the air.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>These can be breathed in, or can cause an infection if you touch a surface they have landed on, and then touch your face with unwashed hands.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Staying at least six feet away from other people lessens your chances of catching COVID-19. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-20-productive-things-to-do-at-home-during-self-isolation\">20 Productive Things To Do At Home During Self-Isolation<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>We may be confined to our homes, but with a little creativity and improvisation, staying in can be fun. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here is our list of 20 activities to do while in self-isolation. If you have any of your own ideas, feel free to share them in the comments! <\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-1-read\">1) Read<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Have you got a stack of books in the corner that you&#8217;ve been meaning to get around to? Now&#8217;s the time to start. If you are self isolating in a household or flat share, you can begin book club, choosing a book each, and having a weekly discussion. You might share some interesting insights and strike up new conversations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-2-write-a-book-screenplay-music\">2) Write a Book\/ Screenplay\/ Music\/<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If you enjoy writing, this could be the chance to hone in on your skills. Many of us have aspirations that we strive to achieve, but never seem to due to a lack of time. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Well, we have time in spades at the moment, so why not write that short story or novel you have always dreamed of?  For those with a passion for film or theater, that screenplay that never quite got finished. If you are lyrical, it could be a piece of music or poetry. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-3-gardening\">3) Gardening<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If you are fortunate to have a garden, you may want to start paying special attention to it. As of yet, parks and green spaces remain open, but with rules changing daily, outdoor space could be restricted. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Sprucing up your garden with flowers and decorations and planting fruit and vegetables will turn it into an area that you can enjoy. Being outdoors is essential for our <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.bensnaturalhealth.com\/general-health\/male-depression\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"mental health (opens in a new tab)\">mental health<\/a>. Planting a garden can be a great way to relieve stress, as well as to fit in some exercise. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you don&#8217;t have a garden, adding plants to your home, or growing a herb garden by the window sill can still be an effective way of surrounding yourself with nature. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-4-learn-a-language\">4) Learn a language<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Around 40% of the world&#8217;s population speaks one language, so if you are in social isolation  why not try learning a new language. There is a massive variety of online language courses and classes available. While some require payment, there are also plenty of free resources available, such as Duolingo, open culture, and YouTube video.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-5-diy\">5) DIY <\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If you are spending plenty of time in the house, you may have started noticing a few cracks, botched paint jobs, and other unfinished projects. If that is the case, now is your chance to get started. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-6-board-games\">6) Board games<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p> Back to basics with this one, but what better way to pass the time than with a board game. If you are in isolation with friends or family, it can be easy to drift to separate rooms, so this is a great way to bond and spend time together. Have a rummage to find what you have available and set up a board game night, accompanied by snacks!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-7-arts-and-crafts\">7) Arts and crafts <\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If you are the creative type, you might need an outlet. This could be pottery, painting, or paper mache, whatever piques your interest. Order the materials you need and let your creativity loose. You can use your best pieces to decorate your home. Adult coloring books and mindful coloring have also become a popular means of <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.bensnaturalhealth.com\/general-health\/destress\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"de-stressing (opens in a new tab)\">de-stressing<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-8-learn-practice-instrument\">8) Learn\/practice instrument <\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If you play an instrument, you may have already found yourself practicing more than usual. If you don&#8217;t play an instrument but have always wanted to learn, you can try now. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pmc\/articles\/PMC3734071\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"Music (opens in a new tab)\">Music<\/a> is very therapeutic, and learning a new skill, rewarding, so why not combine the two? <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There are plenty of online music courses available, as well as YouTube videos to start self-teaching yourself.

Many people find baking (and eating) a cake very therapeutic. But there might be some science behind it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>According to one study, a little creativity each day can go a long way towards happiness and satisfaction. If you have ingredients, baking with your family can be a lot of fun, and you can even challenge each other to a bake-off.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-10-themed-movie-nights\">10) Themed movie nights<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Following in with the cooking theme, why not have a &#8216;themed night.&#8217; For example, you can enjoy an Italian, Chinese, Mexican, or French-themed meal, accompanied by music and a film. Although travel is currently out of the question, you can still immerse yourself in culture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-11-indoor-outdoor-picnic\">11) Indoor\/ Outdoor picnic<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Long, lazy sunny days are made for picnics. Although gatherings outdoors are no longer allowed for public health, you can still enjoy a picnic within the confines of your home. If you have a backyard, great, you can set up there, but even if you don&#8217;t, you can still lay out a rug and have one indoors. (On the plus side, you won&#8217;t have to fight off the ants!)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-12-set-up-a-workout-routine\">12) Set up a workout routine<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>With gyms closing, many people are finding their exercise regime withering away.

The good thing about the internet is that we are still all interconnected during the coronavirus outbreak. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Call up your family members, especially those who are self-isolated alone, or are a vulnerable person Drop friends a Facebook message or text.
