False information is no good to anyone
There is no doubting the massive impact that COVID 19 is having on people all around the world. Everywhere we turn there is a new update or piece of information. Therefore it is increasingly important to make sure if you are sharing information that it is accurate and from a reliable source.
Limit your news intake
To help protect your mental health you should limit the amount of information you view. Constantly seeing updates on a worrying subject is not good for you. Limit your exposure and mix things up with something more light hearted. (E.g. Our Positivity Update)
