To be intentional about your health means 'not wait till you become sick'
It means been proactive about ones health

At this point in time I don't know where you stand in your believe about Covid-19 but my frank advice for you is that...'you don't have to experiment with your very own life and health'.

Prevention is the cheapest form of medicine. It outrightly cost you less or nothing.

What are they even asking you to do?

Stay Safe...Avoid unnecessary crowd gathering

You want to compare these to been Isolated and been admitted in the isolation centre for covid-19?

Do you even know what goes on in there? I bet you don't want to know.

This is not to scare you but to encourage you to embrace wisdom.

Precaution is wisdom

Prevention is wisdom
