The Home Hygiene, Personal cleanliness and safety best practices
It is important to clean your bed, bedsheets and all clothing. Clean your premises regularly to reduce instances of re-infection. Having a cough or TB does not stop you from participating in forms of recreation. Get out of the house and breathe in fresher air while outdoors. Remember, take your medication fully. TB Patients and Anti-TB Champion are encouraged to engage in the following activities. The aim is to keep their personal space or area and by extension your hands clean:

You will agree with me that dance moves can emotionally move one to upliftment, joy, laughter, awe, inspiration and admiration. That is the beauty of dance. Create spaces for members at your household to participate in dancing even as they watch others move in delicate and sometimes very complicated dance moves.
