Physical distancing is essential for communities to stop the spread of coronavirus. This means schools, businesses and other normal gathering places are closed or limited. Large, in-person social gatherings are not possible. You may have worries about job loss, money, food, childcare, missed education, and more. Spending more time at home can be isolating and can make these worries worse.
Following the news can be another source of stress, especially when information is changing quickly. It can also be difficult to know which information to trust.
Our experts have put together some recommendations for keeping your family healthy at home, along with links to other accurate information and useful resources.
