Feeling stressed about coronavirus?

Some people might feel uncertain about the future or overwhelmed by so much information. Others might be concerned about their job, buying food, or the health of their loved ones. People staying at home might start to feel isolated, and young people might be worried about not going to school. Those with existing mental health issues might also be affected - for example by the change in routine.
