Red Cross Ready Resource-Coping with Sheltering at Home during COVID-19

03/27/2020 6:04 PM | Anonymous member (Administrator)

Local and state officials are using shelter-at-home (sometimes shelter-in-place) orders to slow the spread of the coronavirus (COVIS-19). By staying home, people can help minimize how many people are getting sick at the same time, protect those at higher risk of severe illness and prevent our health care system from getting overwhelmed.

Unfortunately, sheltering at home can disrupt your routines and make everyday activities, such as work and caring for loved ones, challenging. These changes, on top of the general uncertainty around this pandemic, can create feelings of stress, fear and nervousness. These feelings are normal, and people typically bounce back after difficult times.
