The package also includes awareness campaign to help reduce the risk of infection with Covid-19 and the psychological management of stress and anxiety related to coronavirus.

According to experts, fear about this new disease can be overwhelming and cause strong emotions in adults and children. Public health actions, such as social distancing, can make people feel isolated and lonely and can increase stress and anxiety.
