According to Bea, one of the best ways to fight pandemic fatigue is to find new ways to stay on track. “Finding a new mask, something that excites you, a new social distancing activity; finding something novel and new is a way we excite our brains and it’s a way we can overcome fatigue,” Bea said. For children experiencing fatigue, it is important to ensure they are staying active and getting as much exercise as possible. While pandemic fatigue is widespread, many people are also experiencing anxiety, depression and other mental health problems.
