Physical health - keeping overall lifestyle with slight changes (environmentally balanced diet with emphasis in nutrition on specific proteins, fruits and vegetables, moderate amount of food, generally accepted norm of liquid intake, regular physical exercises). 2. Mental health - staying mentally balanced; indicating a high degree of social empathy (staying relevantly informed of Covid-19, strict compliance with imposed safety measures, keeping personal, social and virtual hygiene, personal contribution - working as a volunteer or a nurse, staying in solidarity with community, showing support and loyalty and taking care of other people’s life). 3. Moral health - reassessment of the existing value system, prioritizing family relationships; a positive attitude towards life and outcome of the current pandemic. The outlined behavioral model Covid-19 should be supplemented with the responsibility of each individual to his/her physical, psychological, social and moral health.
