- From your personal experience, list three activities you were able to carry out because level 4 & 3 restrictions gave you that opportunity?
- Can you list three environmental benefits that were directly related to COVID-19 restrictions?
- What are the Public health measures that flattened the curve even as we are still waiting for vaccine and drug for treatment?
- If you are to adopt or adapt one lifestyle change for lifetime health, what would that be?
