News about coronavirus (COVID-19) spreading across the globe and talk of a pandemic can be a scary time for anyone. We don’t know how widespread the illness is going to be, or for how long.

Experiencing feelings of anxiety, fear and uncertainty are normal during a pandemic. It’s important to remember to keep the mind and body strong. You can do little things to take care of yourself (and your family), to include:

• Read up on the latest news from reliable sources (and make sure to take breaks from the news)
• Recognize the things you can control, like having good hygiene through proper washing techniques and practicing social distancing
• Taking measures only if recommended by the Centers for Disease Control
• Practice self-care through eating a balanced diet, getting plenty of sleep, and engaging in leisure activities. These activities are good ways to help you stay as healthy as possible during stressful times. Good self-care also keeps your immune system robust.
• Maintain your mental health. If your mental health is being impacted by the stress of the coronavirus, then you may want to seek professional help. A licensed mental health professional can help you manage your fears while also empowering you to make the best decisions for you and your family.
