Imagine taking a time machine back to New Year’s 2020 and asking onlookers to the ball drop about their thoughts on the impending pandemic. You’d likely get more than a few head scratches. 

Indeed, over the past two years, words like “quarantine” and “rapid test” have taken on an entirely new life in public conversations around the world – emerging as main terms surrounding the COVID-19 pandemic today. 

What to do in Quarantine

We know the reality of quarantining can be daunting, but we appreciate you doing your part to isolate and help prevent the spread of COVID-19 if you’ve been exposed or tested positive. Below, we’ve compiled a list of some of our favorite ideas and resources to help keep you entertained while in quarantine, including:  

• Binge-watch your favorite TV shows… we love The Office here at Intrivo. 
• Feeling like learning? Check out Duolingo to learn a new language. 
• If you can still smell and taste, learn a new recipe that you can wow your friends and family with post-quarantine. 
• Don’t feel like cooking? Order food delivery on Grubhub, Door Dash, or Uber Eats.
• If you didn’t hop on the lockdown trends and start baking bread every day or tie dying everything you own, it’s not too late to start. 
• This is a perfect time for some well-deserved self-care: Pamper yourself with a spa day at home.
• Schedule a virtual game night with friends and family. Here are some ideas!
• Find a new hobby, such as meditating 10 minutes a day with the Calm app.
• If you’re part of the 65 percent of employees looking for a new job this year, now’s the time to update your resume and start applying! 
• Organize your closet a la Marie Kondo, or how about cleaning that junk drawer you’ve been throwing things into for years?
• Read a new book, here are a few popular recommendations.
• Print out your favorite photos and create a photobook for your coffee table.
• Dreaming of traveling? E-visit the Louvre or plan your next vacation.  
• Most importantly, sleep, sleep, sleep!

Of course, we may not have a time machine to the past, but we hope this list will keep you entertained and help pass the time in the future. Thanks again, for doing your part to reduce the spread of COVID-19 through COVID testing and quarantining if you’ve been exposed.
