The uncertainty experienced for those whose jobs are suspended indefinitely or who lose their jobs; Anxiety about the future gradually begins to give way to thoughts of hopelessness and helplessness. Both their individual health concerns and thinking about when and how things will get better again will make them feel psychologically tired. Remembering that these undesirable consequences affect many people and that they too experience common concerns and that they are not alone may provide some calming. This period; They can use it to think about new opportunities and make alternative plans.
Those who continue their work mainly from home; This may not be easy for those who have not had experience working from a home office before. So, what can people who work from home do?
Try to wake up at the same time every day and get rid of your pajamas and put on your daily clothes.
Create a small space for yourself instead of working messily on the sofa or couch.

As you continue your business life at work;
First of all, remember this, more worry does not make us safer!
It is not good to constantly talk about the epidemic.
Ignoring the epidemic and saying "life goes on, let's go about our business" is never good.
