On March 13, 2020, The President of the United States declared a national emergency, allowing the use of powers granted by the National Emergencies Act.

As the Pandemic is spreading across the country, it is advised to stay home and self-quarantine. Doing so can prevent the spread of the virus and protect those who are vulnerable from coming in contact.

But if you are self-quarantined at home for a prolonged period of time, it is important to keep your mind, body and soul active and healthy. LET’S STAY SANE YA’LL.
