Are you asking for recommendations like "wash your hands", "avoid crowded places", "don't go to work with symptoms" or are you looking for more innovative solutions?
I think most important is to listen to the recommendations in your country and use common sense. Some measures might be appropriate in some places but not in others. E.g. forcing everyone to stay indoors might make sense in a big city but would probably be a bit extreme in rural areas. There is also other aspects (economical, social, etc.) to take into account.

Staying home and trying to make sure others stay home is the best thing we can do I think. Besides the other guidelines ("wash your hands well", "stand 6 feet away from other people") that the government here has put out, I'd try to stay home as much as possible.
Check on friends and family members too, especially those who are in high risk groups, such as older people and those with respiratory illnesses. Check local news sites to see how your area is handling it and what restrictions are being put in place to protect people. If you know any health care workers, try and thank them for all they're doing . They may be overstressed and overwhelmed being at the frontline of this pandemic. Also if everything starts to seem like its too much, take a break from the news for a bit and work on relaxing. Stress has a negative effect on the immune system after all.

You could arrange to develop a catchall website for COVID-19 provided you could do it safely sitting at home. It could include videos or other materials relating to
1. Effective ways of keeping ourselves and hands clean
2. How to do self isolation in a house when one has symptoms
3. What to stock at home and how much
4. Contact numbers of health care personnel in case of COVID symptoms (local numbers)
5. Details of special travel arrangements being made by your government including flights in/out, or buses etc.
6. Updates on Corona figures - how many affected
7. What type of masks are suitable and where you can get.
8. Establishments open during lockdown and their timings
9. How to keep oneself productively busy during lockdowns
and so on.
Many of these may apply only to your area.
Trick would be to get people to find you in a google search or any other search engines quickly.
Just my 2c.

There is currently no vaccine to prevent coronavirus disease 2019, so the basic one to fighting with covid 19 is wash your hands regularly for 20 seconds, with soap and water, avoid close contact within 1 meter with people who are unwell and don't touch your eyes/nose/mouth if your hands are not clean. Currently most of the country around the world is lockdown, most important to fighting back coronavirus is stay home and self-isolate.
