The outbreak of coronavirus disease is stressful. Fear and worry about getting sick can overwhelm and have an emotional toll on you. Learning to cope with stress will make you, the people you care about, and your community stronger.

Stress during a  crisis can result in:

• Fear and worry about your own health and the health of your loved ones
• Changes in sleep or eating patterns
• Difficulty sleeping or concentrating
• Worsening of chronic health problems
• Worsening of mental health conditions
• Increased use of alcohol, tobacco, or other drugs

Everyone reacts differently to the coronavirus

How you respond to the outbreak can depend on your background, the things that make you different from other people, and the community you live in.
