Stay Social at a Safe Distance

April 16, 2020

You can help slow the spread of COVID-19 and still keep in touch with family and friends. Try these tips to stay safely connected while at home:

Reach out. Sometimes we need to remind ourselves how much a phone call, text or video chat can mean to others. Use this time to talk to that long-lost friend or a long-distance family member.

Connect virtually. Use technology such as video chat to stay connected with friends and family.

Go outdoors, if you can. Take a walk around the block. Check your community’s guidelines to see if parks or local areas are open. Be sure to keep a safe distance from others.

Limit media overload. Too much online news can be overwhelming. Step away and watch a funny movie or read a book to take your mind off the news.

If you want more information, here are credible resources that offer additional information and support:

In addition to using a telehealth service, you can receive in-person or virtual care from your own doctor or another healthcare provider in your plan's network. If you receive care from a doctor or healthcare provider not in your plan's network, your share of the costs may be higher. You may also receive a bill for any charges not covered by your health plan.
