Recorded version of the live Q&A on mental health during COVID-19, with Aiysha Malik, Mental Health expert at WHO speaking with Sari Setiogi, Head of WHO's Social Media and Media Monitoring.

A lot of you are probably doing the same because you’ve been told to self-isolate or are doing it voluntarily to help reduce the spread of COVID-19. But working from home and being in isolation can take a toll on our mental health. And all the uncertainty and distressing news around the global pandemic doesn’t help. Today, we’re joined by Steve Joordens, a psychology professor at the University of Toronto, to talk about how to cope with anxiety around the coronavirus.

Habang naka-focus ang lahat sa ating physical health para labanan ang sakit na COVID-19, kailangan din nating tutukan ang ating mental health. Ito ang ilang mental health tips sa panahon ng COVID-19.

Our country is facing an unprecedented situation. We pray for our national leaders, our local leaders, our healthcare and other frontline workers. We are focusing our CoopJournal on organizing public service advisories regarding COVID-19. We have earlier pivoted Cooperative Healthcare for the same purpose. Mga kababayan, wag po tayo mag-panic. Sumunod po tayo sa orders ng pamahalaan. Pag wala sa exemptions, let's stay home. Pangalagaan po natin ang hygiene at kalinisan. Wag muna magpuyat. Wag ma-stress. Pangalagaan ang mental health. Kumain ng mabuti. Uminom ng vitamins. Mag exercise. Palakasin ang resistensya sa iba pang pamamaraan. Let's look after one another. Most of all, magdasal tayo. God bless you and your families, our countrymen, and the world.
