As concerns around the impact of the Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic grow, it is important that each person play his/her part in slowing down the spread of the disease.

To facilitate this, BAPS Charities has prepared a resource booklet to provide clear and concise knowledge that is easy to understand and is relevant. It addresses many of the common questions that people have.

The booklet includes common questions regarding COVID-19 such as, what are the signs that I should look out for?  Do I need testing and if so, where can I get it?  How do I take care of a child with ADHD during social isolation? What do I do if I am pregnant?   Is there any help available if I am stressed?   Where can I find information for local hospitals and testing centers?  I have diabetes, do I need to take any special precautions?  Etc.
