Coronavirus and your wellbeing

You might be worried about coronavirus (also known as COVID-19) and how it could affect your life. This may include being asked to stay at home or avoid other people. 
This might feel difficult or stressful. But there are lots of things you can try that could help your wellbeing. 
This information is to help you cope if:

• you’re feeling anxious or worried about coronavirus
• you’re asked to stay at home or avoid public places, for example if your employer asks you to work from home
• you have to self-isolate. This means you avoid contact with other people and follow strict hygiene rules. The NHS has   advice about self-isolation in English  and   advice about self-isolation in Welsh. For how long to self-isolate, see the   current government advice in English  or the   current government advice in Welsh.

And it covers:

• Plan for staying at home or indoors
• Take care of your mental health and wellbeing
• Checklist: are you ready to stay at home for two weeks?
