**8. Advisable Remedies**


With everything that has changed with society as a result of the pandemic, there is a great need to develop more "wellness groups" to healthcare workers who are working tirelessly to treat patients during the current pandemic. These groups have also sparked a lot of conversation around where future needs may arise, as COVID-19 will undoubtedly be a large issue for the next 12–18 months. These groups and resources could also be adapted for other "frontline" essential workers, such as those in the food industry and delivery, as they may also experience similar stressors as healthcare workers. When one is responding to COVID-19 and is quarantined, mental predicaments become much harder. Even upon the release from quarantine, one might experience mixed feelings, including intense fear about his/her own and loved ones' health. Further, other symptoms such as sadness and irritation because a friend or loved one might have contracted COVID-19 can be frustrating. Other emotional and mental changes often result from the guilt of not being able to interact with other people, complete tasks, and take duties during the quarantine period. Furthermore, the financial and social burden of the issue adds to the mental health burden of the disease [1]. In such an instance, one needs to take time for himself/herself and his/her family to recover from responding to the pandemic. It would also be advised that individuals take a break from media coverage of COVID-19 and seek community assistance instead [1].
