According to Sadvitha Gona, a youngster from the city who was isolated after testing positive, watching and re-watching her favourite shows helped a lot. “I stuck to consuming only my comfortable content and got a good amount of sleep. I chose to watch my favourite show ‘The Big Bang Theory’ again and it gave me a lot of positivity as it is a fun watch,” she says adding, “It is best to relax and do what you love doing and just let your body do what it does.”

Keeping the mind busy goes a long way, according to Dhruti P, a city-based student. “I was the only one in the house who tested positive and I was immediately isolated. I took the time to stay busy mentally by talking to my friends and loved ones on video calls. It in fact, felt like the much-needed time away from everything,” she says.

She went for a repeat watch of sitcoms like ‘Friends’ and ‘Two and a Half Men’, and says, “I ensured I was laughing most of the time. I also took to doing up interiors of my room with plants.” Yoga tutorials helped her during the phase.

Another important thing to do if a family member tests positive, is to ensure they are pampered and made to feel good mentally. “My family ensured I got my favourite food and pampered me during the isolation and it helped a lot,” adds Dhruthi.
