Amid the surge in Australian Coronavirus cases, health authorities have advised we practice social distancing in order to ‘flatten the curve’ and slow the rate of transmission, and this has led to more people working from home as companies take initiative to curb the spread.

As such, those who are in a position to work from home are being strongly urged to do so.

Acting in accordance with the advice of health authorities is no doubt the most responsible thing to do right now. But in doing so, we need to be aware of the toll working from home and social distancing can take on our mental health.
