While stay-at-home orders have ended and more and more people are resuming normal activities, the COVID-19 pandemic has NOT ended. Continue to take precautions to stay healthy:

Create a daily routine, and stick to it. That includes rising and going to bed at the same time each day.
Exercise, doing a mix of aerobic activities, strength training, and stretching.
Eat healthy meals that include lean proteins and plenty of vegetables.
Take breaks from watching, reading or listening to news stories, including social media.
Keep in touch with family and friends by phone and video chats. If you’re going to visit in-person, wear a mask and keep six feet away. If possible, gather outdoors.
Contact your doctor if you are feeling unwell. Many medical offices are resuming in-person visits with added precautions.
Call the Institute on Aging’s Friendship Line at 1-800-971-0016 if you feel lonely or overwhelmed. It is both a crisis intervention hotline and a warmline for nonemergency emotional support calls.
