RESUMEN
The lessons of COVID-19 have confirmed the effectiveness of measures aimed at strict self-isolation and quarantine. In the People's Republic of China, where any violation of the regime requirements was qualified as a criminal offense, the virus was neutralized when the pandemic was only gaining momentum in Europe and America. However, without proper organization of a restrictive regime, self-isolation can lead to negative consequences in terms of deterioration of health and standard of living. The pandemic has undoubtedly significantly complicated our lives, has taken millions of lives, caused disability, deterioration of material status, rupture of marital ties. One of the reasons for this development of events was the unsatisfactory organization of leisure during self-isolation. The inability to calmly wait out, endure COVID-associated adversities in most countries caused mass popular unrest, gave rise to panic moods. Only those who managed to curb the negative consequences and direct them in the right direction managed to come out of the pandemic with dignity. The authors have developed an organizational technology of the forced self-isolation regime based on the complex of measures and proposed this technology for introduction to daily life of the population during the period of restrictive regimes. The authors are sure that it is especially important to organize leisure and create the most comfortable conditions of the isolated living for the elderly, who are the most sensitive to changes in life stereotypes. The authors propose a set of measures to efficiently organize leisure during self-isolation with physical therapy, cognitive training, as well as measures to fit the body and develop psychological relief, making it possible to reverse the threat of the pandemic in higher health potential and better family relations.
