Managing COVID Fatigue

Focus and creativity. These are the two strategies that Director of Mental Health, Dr. Hazel Othello, is urging the public to adopt as the Christmas Season approaches. At Monday's Ministry of Health Virtual Media Conference, Dr. Othello said people should focus on overcoming challenges, on the meaning of Christmas, and on helping others rather than dwelling on their own problems. She also recommended that people find creative ways to still enjoy the Christmas season such as movie nights, virtual games, and sharing family activities. Dr. Othello encouraged parents to keep Christmas as normal as possible for children by allowing them to complete Christmas activities at home. She said these tips should help everyone overcome Covid fatigue during the festive season.
