First, let’s tackle the term. COVID-19 ‘CO’ stands for ‘corona,” ‘VI’ for ‘virus,’ and ‘D’ for disease. For more information on prevention and treatment visit the California Department of Public Health, cdph.ca.gov.
Secondly, with you in mind, we made a list of activities that offer helpful alternatives to focusing on the virus. Instead of thinking about all of the things you can’t do why not take a break from social media sources that are spreading panic and alarm and consider some of these ideas? Most importantly during this stressfultime, remember that we’re all in this together.
- Take a walk
- Play board games
