The less time you spend in a crowd, the less likely you will be exposed to the virus. For this reason, good planning of your visit is crucial. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Go check your household supplies, unlock your mobile phone, and note down all the products you are missing.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"double-icons-widget\">\n<div class=\"di-icons\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/listonic.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/Listonic_11.png\" alt=\"\" height=\"40\" \/><\/div>\n<div class=\"di-text\">Make a smart shopping list with Listonic shopping list app.<\/div>\n<div class=\"di-button\"><a href=\"https:\/\/play.google.com\/store\/apps\/details?id=com.l&amp;referrer=utm_source%3Dlistonic.com-pl%26utm_medium%3Dreferral%26utm_term%3Dno-keyword%26utm_content%3Dmini-widget%26utm_campaign%3Dmini-widget\" rel=\"nofollow\">Get For Free<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We also encourage you to think about those who might need help with grocery shopping. As sick people and the elderly are particularly at risk of contracting the virus, your little favor significantly reduces their risk of infection.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 id=\"2\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What to Buy for Home Quarantine?<\/span><\/h2>\n<h3 id=\"3\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Food<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-image-78350 alignright\" src=\"https:\/\/listonic.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/grocery-for-home.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"252\" height=\"182\" \/>First, you should buy products with a long shelf life. Pasta, rice, and grains will be fit for consumption after several days of quarantine, they are easy to store, and provide you with practically all the essential minerals (More <a href=\"https:\/\/www.medicalnewstoday.com\/articles\/318699#Fiber\">here<\/a>). But rice alone is not dinner yet. Take a stroll down the canned food aisle and pick up some canned soup, vegetables, and beans. They can be just as healthy as fresh food.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">WAIT, canned goods are healthy?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Absolutely! As you can read <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/listonic.com\/canned-food\/#fresh\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">here<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, canned alternatives are generally nutritionally not worse than their fresh counterparts! What&#8217;s more, canned food is usually already partly cooked, which means less trouble in the kitchen. However, it doesn\u2019t mean you should don\u2019t give up on fresh food entirely! Although it can\u2019t stay too long on the shelf, nothing can replace the smell of fresh herbs and vegetables.<\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"tip\">\n<p><strong>\u2757 DON&#8217;T FORGET<\/strong><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>If you have a baby or a pet (or both!), make sure you\u2019re not running low on baby formula or pet food.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<h3 id=\"4\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Cleaning products<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-image-78260 alignright\" src=\"https:\/\/listonic.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/soap-is-the-best-to-fight-coronavirus.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"265\" height=\"210\" \/>Nothing annihilates the virus as effectively as a good old bar of soap. It is hands down the most important cleaning item on your list. Even hand sanitizers are less effective because alcohol-based disinfectants do not always reach under nails and between fingers.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">But you&#8217;ll also need something to wipe wet hands and to maintain hygiene in general. Add paper towels, tissues and toilet paper to your list of essentials.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Heavier items like washing powder and dishwasher capsules pick up on your way to a cash register.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Medicine<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\" wp-image-78215 alignright\" src=\"https:\/\/listonic.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/take-medicines-during-quarantine.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"265\" height=\"250\" \/>If you take any medicine, try to get at least a month&#8217;s supply of them. Pharmacies are full of customers and you may have to wait for a supply of drugs. To avoid additional trouble, ask if the pharmacy offers to send medicine by post.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You may also be unfortunate enough to suffer from period pains, toothache or diarrhea during the quarantine. Check your medicine cabinet and make sure you are prepared for this scenario.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 id=\"5\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Board and video games<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-image-78170 alignright\" src=\"https:\/\/listonic.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/board-games-for-quarantine.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"261\" height=\"180\" \/>Cinemas, pubs, and gyms will remain closed for some time. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">But<\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">quarantine<\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">is<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> not <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">a<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> boredom sentence!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Actually, it&#8217;s a great opportunity to dig out old jigsaw puzzles, scrabble, monopoly, and other board games, and gather the family together.
