How Can We Help One Another During the Coronavirus Outbreak?

In a time of anxiety and social distancing, what can we do to look out for one another?

Although social distancing seems to be the best way to stop the spread of the coronavirus, it has caused a lot of people to face fear and anxiety. In such a situation, I think it is up to each of us to make sure that we all look after each other. One of the main things to do is to try and stay in contact with all your friends and family even in such a situation. Even if this is just an online game of chess or UNO, try to make sure that no one feels left out. Playing online games can also help those who may feel more anxious by being on video calls for too long.

Not only your friends and family, but you should try and look out for your community also. This could be by donating to local food banks or volunteering to help out the elderly. There are a lot of people who rely on food banks and due to the shortage of donations and labor, a lot of banks are not able to provide for the poor. This has caused fear in a lot of communities who rely on these food donations to survive. Moreover, there are a lot of elderly who live alone and can’t go out to buy groceries or essential items. If you know someone in such a situation, reach out to them and ask them if they need help.

Finally, along with helping each other, I think we should be taking care of ourselves also. This includes making sure to wash our hands as often as possible and staying clean and indoors. Make sure that you don’t deviate from your main goals and don’t let these different circumstances stop you from achieving your aims and goals.
