Social media feeds, the news, and even TV commercials are promoting social distancing as the best way to prevent coronavirus. In addition to keeping a public distance of at least 6 feet from others and avoiding social gatherings, we found the following:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>65% avoid touching their face, nose, and eyes<\/li>\n<li>62% practice home-isolation by voluntarily staying at home<\/li>\n<li>59% limit visits to stores and pharmacies<\/li>\n<li>28% adhere to government-mandated rules to shelter in place<\/li>\n<li>19% change clothes upon returning home from the store and\/or pharmacy<\/li>\n<li>15% wear a face mask<\/li>\n<li>14% started using contactless, mobile payments (e.g. Apple Pay, Google Pay)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">This social distance has provided much more downtime.

As \u201cnonessential\u201d businesses limit hours or close their doors altogether, more people worry that their job could be next.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">State and local authorities have leeway in what they consider an essential business. In general, these industries include:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Grocery stores<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Food and agriculture<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.singlecare.com\/blog\/news\/pharmacy-delivery-during-coronavirus-outbreak\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Pharmacies<\/span><\/a><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Healthcare providers<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Utilities (energy, water, telecommunications)<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Transportation and logistics<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Banking and financial services<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Community-based governmental services (security staff, educators, hotel workers)<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Law enforcement, first responders, and emergency personnel<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Data from the U.S. Department of Labor shows that this worry may be warranted. There were 281,000 jobless claims for the week ending Mar. 14. While 5 million Americans were already working remotely before the coronavirus outbreak, working from home is not an option for the vast majority of U.S. workers. Fortunately, many corporations like Walmart, Amazon, and Starbucks are responding quickly and some are even on a hiring spree. Additionally, states like Colorado require employers to offer paid sick leave to service and hospitality workers. But still, some businesses might not rebound from a post-coronavirus economy with a prediction of 30% unemployment, which is higher than in the Great Depression (24.9%).<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-10084\" src=\"https:\/\/www.singlecare.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/are-you-concerned-about-losing-your-job-1024x882.png\" alt=\"Are You Concerned About Losing Your Job Due To The Coronavirus?\" width=\"604\" height=\"520\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.singlecare.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/are-you-concerned-about-losing-your-job-1024x882.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.singlecare.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/are-you-concerned-about-losing-your-job-300x258.png 300w, https:\/\/www.singlecare.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/are-you-concerned-about-losing-your-job-768x661.png 768w, https:\/\/www.singlecare.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/are-you-concerned-about-losing-your-job-1536x1322.png 1536w, https:\/\/www.singlecare.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/are-you-concerned-about-losing-your-job.png 1784w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 604px) 100vw, 604px\" \/><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">35% of U.S. residents believe COVID-19 will impact their daily life for 6 months or longer<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The first COVID-19 case in the U.S. was confirmed more than two months ago, on Jan. 15.

It leaves people wondering, how much longer can this last?\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Although the World Health Organization (WHO) warns that the coronavirus spread is accelerating around the world, perhaps we can look to China for more assurance as the number of new cases has started to decrease. The new virus originated in Wuhan of the Hubei province. Now, three months after the first known infected person was diagnosed, some Chinese residents have returned to work.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">New cases in South Korea (first confirmed case on Jan. 20) and Italy (first confirmed case on Jan. 31) have also started to decline.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>RELATED: <\/b><a href=\"https:\/\/www.singlecare.com\/blog\/news\/coronavirus-covid-19-treatments\/\"><b>Current COVID-19 treatments<\/b><\/a><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-10087\" src=\"https:\/\/www.singlecare.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/singlecare-how-much-longer-do-you-think-coronavirus-will-impact-daily-life-1024x873.png\" alt=\"How Much Longer Do You Think Coronavirus Will Impact Daily Life?\" width=\"604\" height=\"515\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.singlecare.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/singlecare-how-much-longer-do-you-think-coronavirus-will-impact-daily-life-1024x873.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.singlecare.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/singlecare-how-much-longer-do-you-think-coronavirus-will-impact-daily-life-300x256.png 300w, https:\/\/www.singlecare.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/singlecare-how-much-longer-do-you-think-coronavirus-will-impact-daily-life-768x655.png 768w, https:\/\/www.singlecare.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/singlecare-how-much-longer-do-you-think-coronavirus-will-impact-daily-life-1536x1310.png 1536w, https:\/\/www.singlecare.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/singlecare-how-much-longer-do-you-think-coronavirus-will-impact-daily-life.png 1780w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 604px) 100vw, 604px\" \/><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">29% of U.S. residents have canceled or postponed travel plans<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">29% of respondents have changed their travel plans. 30% of U.S. residents with travel plans have postponed their trip, but 52% of them have canceled altogether. Though sticking to flight schedules in order to keep their flight slots, most airlines have waived flight change fees and credited the accounts of travelers who have canceled their flights due to the virus.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Although 18% of people with travel plans noted that they have or are planning to travel despite the coronavirus outbreak, these plans may go awry as the travel industry takes a hit. Las Vegas casinos and hotels have suspended operations. Theaters, bowling alleys, malls, and museums have been closed across many states. Even North Carolina beaches have been shut down to discourage spring breakers from gathering.

At least 54.8 million students have been affected by closures due to the public health emergency, and their parents are scrambling to find childcare. Although some states like Ohio and Massachusetts have issued pandemic child care licenses or opened free childcare centers, many daycares have closed across the country.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">With limited working hours and increasing layoffs, parents may not be able to afford childcare at this time.
