            Pandemic Fatigue: Reinvigorating the Public to Prevent COVID-19

            /in , , , , /by

            Despite documented public support for pandemic response strategies across the WHO European Region, Member States are reporting signs of pandemic fatigue in their populations – here defined as demotivation to follow recommended protective behaviours, emerging gradually over time and affected by a number of emotions, experiences and perceptions.

            Responding to a request from Member States for support in this field, this document provides a framework for the planning and implementation of national and subnational strategies to maintain and reinvigorate public support to prevent COVID-19.

            Pandemic fatigue is an expected and natural response to a prolonged public health crisis – not least because the severity and scale of the COVID-19 pandemic have called for the implementation of invasive measures with unprecedented impacts on the daily lives of everyone, including those who have not been directly affected by the virus itself.

              /in , , , , , /by

              This page offers advice on going out of the home during the time of COVID-19.

              The following guidelines are offered:

              • In general, the more closely you interact with others and the longer that interaction, the higher the risk of COVID-19 spread.
              • If you decide to engage in public activities, continue to protect yourself by practicing everyday preventive actions.
              • Keep these items on hand when venturing out: a face mask, tissues, and a hand sanitizer with at least 60% alcohol, if possible.
