Stress and anxiety may be minimized by accessing accurate, up-to-date information from trusted resources. It's good to stay informed about COVID-19/Coronavirus while being mindful of your well-being.
You may have the impulse to repeatedly check news sources and social media throughout the day, but this may not be beneficial to your mental health. Set aside a reasonable amount of time each day to gain current information, and attempt to stay focused on your day-to-day activities for the remainder of the day.
