First, recognize it’s normal to have these kinds of feelings. This is a serious situation. Here are practical steps you can take: 

• Focus on what is in your control. For whatever is stressing you out the most, determine one concrete thing you can do. Then do it.
• Take a deep breath and exhale slowly to interrupt anxious thoughts and anchor yourself to the present. 
• Practice good anti-disease hygiene. Make a personal preparedness plan. Get sleep and exercise. Eat right.

This guidance might sound familiar. It’s how to approach anxiety-producing standardized tests. As our teachers say, control what is in your control.

1) Follow all local government guidelines on social distancing and slowing the spread of this virus.

2) Follow the guidelines laid out by the World Health Organization (WHO) and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC):

• Wash your hands frequently with soap and water for at least 20 seconds
• Avoid close contact with people who are sick
• Practice respiratory hygiene: cover your cough or sneeze with a tissue
• If you have fever, cough, or difficulty breathing, seek medical care early
• Stay informed and follow the advice given by your healthcare provider
• Stay home when you are sick
• Clean and disinfect frequently touched objects and surfaces
