That is why AFN has come up with a full guide on helping you while you're are staying in your house.

Staying Informed
A lot of information is buzzing around, but you want to make sure you are getting the correct news. That's why it is important to follow local, state, and even federal guidelines. You can always fact check this information online, but make sure you are using reputable sources. Currently, social media platforms like Facebook and Twitter are doubling down on false information and creating COVID-19 information centers, making sure you are provided with the correct news and information.
Exercise
If your gym is closed, you can still try some at-home activities that will help you maintain your fitness goals. First, make sure to reach out to your gym and see if they provide any resources to help you while they are closed.
