The Government has launched a new, dedicated web page for people struggling with their mental health during the coronavirus pandemic.

It has tips, advice and support for people's physical and mental well-being.

The web page states: "The spread of COVID-19 (Coronavirus) is a new and challenging event.

"Everyone's lives and daily routines are affected by the measures that have been introduced to disrupt the spread of the virus, and keep us all safe.

"It's normal to be worried or to feel stressed during this difficult time, but there are many things we can do to help us mind our mental health and well-being."

Categories dealt with on the site include coping at home, staying active, healthy eating and cocooning.

There are also links to advice and tips on how you can look after your mental well-being, and cope with a new daily routine.

While it also notes that some people might find this time more worrying than others, and may need some extra support.

For this, it includes links to mental health services across the country.

"Whatever you are going through in isolation, let's stay connected and make it through, together", it adds.

It comes as the current restrictions, due to expire on Sunday, are being extended to May 5th.

These include the closure of non-essential businesses and everyone being asked to stay at home wherever possible.
