Coronavirus and your wellbeing
Many of us are forced to change our daily routine, this includes home-working, reducing social contacts to a minimum and, in some cases, complete isolation. You might feel worried and find these drastic changes stressful and difficult. The mental health charity MIND has compiled some useful resources that might help in coping with the new situation.
