With some parts of the world starting to emerge from the lockdown carefully, it might seem as if the pandemic we’ve been going through over the past few months has finally passed us by. However, with the reduction in lockdowns and the opening of more public places, the risk of the virus is still very much present. There have been dramatic decreases in infection rates in some parts of the US, meanwhile other states are currently seeing their COVID-19 cases continue to rise as they reopen.
It might very well be the case that there will be isolated areas forced to close and the likelihood of catching the virus is still very much real for many people, with many areas or regions already having to scale back their reopening policies. We have heard many different stories about how difficult it is to be in isolation or self-quarantine and the effect it can have on your physical and mental well-being but staying in quarantine will save lives.

If you do find yourself in the unfortunate situation where self-quarantine is necessary, it’s important that you find ways to pass the time. With that in mind, here are 5 items that can help make self-quarantine as enjoyable as possible.
