Social distancing is essential to slowing the spread of COVID-19, but it’s left many people feeling isolated and anxious. We need to take care of our mental health, too, during this pandemic. ????????? How are you keeping your spirits up? For my part, in between video meetings about our coronavirus response and other foundation issues, I’ve made a point to get outside (while still following social distancing rules!) to soak in the natural beauty of the Pacific Northwest. These cherry blossoms lifted my spirits. ????????? I’ve also been reading news stories about humanity at its best—Italians singing from their balconies, families applauding healthcare workers from their windows, and young people buying groceries for their elderly neighbors. ????????? And I’ve been making a point of staying in touch with friends and family online. Since we couldn’t do our usual Monday morning walk in person this week, three of my best friends and I caught up over a video call. ????????? While it’s important that we remain physically apart right now, we can—and should—stay connected to the people around us.

"Social distancing sangat penting untuk memperlambat penyebaran COVID-19. Namun hal itu membuat banyak orang merasa terisolasi dan cemas. Kita juga harus menjaga kesehatan mental kita selama pandemi ini," tulisnya, dikutip dari akun Instagram @melindafrenchgates.
