    Over the past few months, we’ve


    experienced an unprecedented shift
    in our way of life due to COVID-19.

    PANDEMIC
    Fear, worry, and stress are normal
    responses to perceived or real
    threats, and at times when we are
    faced with uncertainty or the
    unknown. So it is normal and
    understandable that people are
    experiencing fear in the context of

    pharmaceuticals and other store in

    hygiene will continue.

    Church related activities and family
    gatherings

    learning, online, and modular
    × Graduation was virtually done

    been laid off.

    × There has been travel ban or limited
    transportation

    Wellness Centers, Entertainment
