Staying healthy during this time is central to the mission of reducing the spread of COVID-19. As such, it is important to remember that your immune system is significantly affected by diet, stress, sleep, and exercise. While practicing quarantine guidelines, it is very beneficial to keep your body moving and your mind focused, to boost your immune system and reduce stress. Socialize virtually, through online group games and apps. Keep your mind focused by listening to podcasts, videos, and audiobooks, many of which are free at this time. Stay in touch with your friends and family. Take the time to learn a new skill, hobby, or brush up on skills you previously wanted to learn but didn't, due to time restrictions. Learning the practice of mindfulness and present-moment presence can really reduce stress, anxiety, quiet racing thoughts, and help you have better quality sleep. 

Listed below are apps and services that are being offered free of charge during pandemic quarantine:
