      Corona virus is a huge challenge for community health globally. It is going to be a difficult time where we will need to act responsibly and support each other, especially those who may already be vulnerable or isolated.

      We should take it seriously, protect those who are more vulnerable, be good community citizens… and wash our hands! There are lots of behavioural scientists and psychologists working on preventing the spread of Coronavirus – psychology has a lot to contribute at the moment, I think.

      It’s a serious issue, and we need to delay it as much as possible! This can be achieved through regular washing of hands and something called social distancing, which is where you deliberately increase the physical space between yourself and others. We also need to make sure we look after those who are most vulnerable in society – such as those over the age of 70. We need to remember to be kind and look after one another – we are all in this together 🙂
