English to Portuguese: PANDEMICS CAN BE STRESSFUL - BY THE CDC General field: Medical Detailed field: Medical: Health Care
Source text - English The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic may be stressful for people. Fear and anxiety about a new disease and what could happen can be overwhelming and cause strong emotions in adults and children. Public health actions, such as social distancing, can make people feel isolated and lonely and can increase stress and anxiety. However, these actions are necessary to reduce the spread of COVID-19. Coping with stress in a healthy way will make you, the people you care about, and your community stronger. Stress during an infectious disease outbreak can sometimes cause the following: fear and worry about your own health and the health of your loved ones, your financial situation or job, or loss of support services you rely on; changes in sleep or eating patterns; difficulty sleeping or concentrating; worsening of chronic health problems; worsening of mental health conditions; increased use of tobacco, and/or alcohol and other substances.
Translation - Portuguese A pandemia da doença do corona virus 2019 (COVID19) pode ser muito estressante para muitas pessoas. Medo e ansiedade em relação a uma nova doença e o fato de que essa doença pode ser avassaladora pode causar emoções fortes em adultos e crianças. Medidas da saúde pública, como a distância social, podem fazer pessoas se sentirem isoladas e sozinhas, e podem aumentar o estresse e a ansiedade. Entretanto, essas medidas são necessárias para reduzir a propagação da COVID-19. Lidar com o estresse de maneira saudável para você, as pessoas que voce ama, e a sua comunidade, mais fortes. O surto de uma doença infecciosa, pode, às vezes, causar os seguintes efeitos: medo e preocupação em relação a sua propria saúde e a saúde daqueles que você ama, sua situação financeira ou trabalho, ou perda de serviços de apoio em que você confia; mudanças em padrões alimentares e de sono; dificuldade pegando no sono ou se concentrando; agravamento de problemas crônicos de saúde; agravamento de condições de saúde mental; aumento do uso de tabaco, e/ou álcool e outras substâncias
