With more than two years in the pandemic, we see the world transitioning to a more controlled phase of COVID-19. With businesses being allowed to operate at full capacity for Alert Level 1 areas, for example, we see more people going back to work physically, students attending face-to-face classes, or people being allowed to travel without regard to age and even comorbidities.
But navigating new changes in our lifestyles has never been easy. The never-ending adjustments have impacted the way people live, and among them, the people who have been most affected by stress were the frontliners who have to face the virus head-on. Each day, they have to battle the risk of contracting the virus as they take care of others, enduring long hours and days apart from their families to ensure everyone's safety. These challenges have mostly taken a toll on their overall well-being, resulting in stress, frustration, and exhaustion. It is, after all their calling, and showing compassion, that they work hard and live through these sacrifices to support their family and to look after the health and well-being of the entire country.
