The Ministry of Health and Wellness recently received the donation of reusable masks from the Sandals Foundation to assist community members with maintaining and adhering to the protocols for managing COVID-19. The reusable masks will be made available at the various wellness centres around the island and will be distributed to people who have limited or no access to masks. Chief Medical Officer Dr. Sharon Belma George expressed heartfelt gratitude to the Sandals Foundation for the donation. She said it will play a significant part in protecting the health of citizens during the COVID-19 pandemic. Public Relations Manager of Sandals Grand, Julie Dittoville, said the Foundation is dedicated to making the health of the community a priority and responding to the situation of COVID-19 in St. Lucia. The Sandals Foundation made a donation of 1,500 masks valued at $10,000. The impact of COVID-19 has left no country and no one untouched. All age groups are affected as the life changes have been drastic in many cases. The new reality of working from home, less social contact with family and friends, homeschooling for children and being unemployed is actually a difficult time for most persons. As St. Lucia adapts to a new sense of normalcy, the public is encouraged to maintain their physical and mental health. Practice in self-care can help alleviate the psychological distress and anxiety caused by the pandemic and prevent lasting adverse psychological effects. Bureau of Health Education's family life educator Naomi Grandison highlighted the importance of developing a regular routine and or schedule. Another important tip in practice in self-care is healthy eating. The family life educator explained that the food an individual consumes can affect the body's ability to prevent, fight and recover from infections or illnesses. Individuals are encouraged to seek help at the National Mental Wellness Centre or from trusted family members and friends or call the helpline at 201 if needed. This has been the Midday News Brief.
