One of the biggest changes resulting from the COVID-19 shutdown is social/physical distancing. This has, for many people, caused feelings of isolation, and even depression. While you should continue to maintain proper physical distance from others, you should seek opportunities to connect socially. Whether using a video app like facetime or zoom, or visiting with a neighbor outdoors (wearing a mask), make it a point to stay connected.
