Signature Market Cares: 14-Day Self Isolation Period

The Movement Control Order implemented by Prime Minister Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin calls for a 14-day self-isolation period as a preventive measure towards the Covid-19 pandemic. With the number of infected cases increasing at an alarming rate each passing day, this step is very much necessary to keep this outbreak contained. With the implementation of restrictive movement, it brings our community closer together by uniting and minimizing this terrifying outbreak.

It is a time of self-love and togetherness, giving us the time to truly be in touch with ourselves and our loved ones.

Here are some ideas of ways to make these 14 days carefree and wholesome.

1. Support local online businesses.



While now is not the best time to be dining out and shopping at malls due to closure of such businesses, you can always indulge in their online menu and webstore instead. Most of these local businesses still remain fully operational online and are playing their part by delivering to our community. Hence, this is an amazing time to be supporting our local businesses and is a fantastic way to stay united during this difficult time as well.

Signature Market is doing our part by offering exclusive deals sitewide to help you stock up on the essential groceries, encouraging you to stay home until this period is over.

2. Deep clean your house.



During this vulnerable time where we are all at risk of getting an infection, staying home is definitely the best thing to do. Deep cleaning your house goes hand-in-hand with that so instead of sitting around and lazing away, pick up that bottle of detergent and scrub away. Remember to be generous to be these cleaning liquids and tackle every corner of your house. At the same time, you could also separate your items into those which can be donated and recycled. Your house will not only look and feel squeaky clean but you will also feel a sense of accomplishment and relief after that.

3. Try out new recipes.



Although food delivery services are still operational during this 14-day period, it can get pretty expensive. This is where creativity comes into place. Search up for some interesting recipes online and actually try it out. Make full use of the ingredients you have on hand in your kitchen and curate delicious meals with it. Something to consider while doing this, is to try out some recipes that can produce freezer-friendly meals. These are not only cost-friendly but also maximises your time efficiency, especially if you are working from home.

Browse through Signature Market’s blog for a variety of recipes that can be easily made in bigger quantities and stored in the freezer to consume for later in the week.



4. Get in your at-home workout.



Though these 14 days restrict you from heading to your local gyms and parks, it does not mean your workout routine needs to stop there. A simple Google search leads you to endless physical activities and exercises that do not require any special equipment to be carried out. All you need is an exercise mat and you are good to go. Working out is also an excellent mood-booster and can definitely help you destress during this time. If you are relatively new to working out, you can always look up some local online businesses in the fitness and health industry as they will be carrying out Live workout videos to guide you through.

Keep a lookout on Signature Market’s social media platforms for some Live videos scheduled throughout this period to give you a happy and soulful wellbeing.

5. Connect with loved ones.



Staying home with your family can be extremely therapeutic as you are constantly surrounded in an environment filled with love. Get creative by coming up with fun family activities such as baking or playing board games together. It is not only rewarding to be able to spend quality time with your loved ones but is also an extremely good way to keep your mind off this scary time. If social distancing is separating some of your family members, set up a video call session to continue the bonding. Remember, communication is key so be sure to always check up on those who are away.
