Pakistan's Federal, state, and local governments are working to respond to the growing public health threat of coronavirus, or COVID-19
As communities across the country are dealing with an increase in the number of reported cases, many areas may be impacted by the temporary closure of businesses, schools and other public facilities or events, and in some cases, quarantines. While these actions are necessary steps to help reduce exposures, it may bring financial uncertainty for many people who could experience a loss of income due to illness or workplace closures.

It’s without a doubt that coronavirus has triggered our stress responses. Even if unaffected, the coronavirus has caused us to believe life is at risk with uncertainty with infection rates and the death toll entering the hundreds. To remain calm and in good health, it’s imperative to educate yourself on the virus and how you can protect yourself.
You can protect yourself from coronavirus by:
Regularly washing your hands and avoiding hand-to-hand contact altogether.
Avoid touching your eyes, nose, and mouth as much as possible.
Coughing and sneezing directly into your elbow as opposed to your hands.
Staying home if you’re sick and avoiding close contact with anyone who is sick, regardless of if they’ve been infected with coronavirus or not.
Getting your flu shot.
It’s important to not stress about coronavirus. Stress will affect your overall physical and emotional health, which will ultimately increase the chance of being infected with the coronavirus. Protecting yourself from coronavirus may go beyond the recommended handwashing and translate to simple calming techniques such as meditation or the use of bilateral stimulation devices such as TouchPoints. Advances in neuroscience have shown that using these bilateral stimulation devices can turn off the stress response just as easily as it’s turned on.
A vaccine for COVID-19 is already in the works but with trials, testing, approval, and scaling up production of the vaccine, it may not become widely available for at least a year. It’s important to educate yourself and take the necessary steps to remain calm as we all work together to control this outbreak.
So be safe everyone dont panic we will all get past this hopefully.
