Coping with COVID

A Public Story-Telling Project

How are COVID-19 public health guidelines impacting you?

Social Distancing. Masks. Self-Monitoring. 6 feet.

These terms meant something different (or many of us didn't use them at all) just a few months ago.

We want to hear your stories about how you have adapted such COVID-19 public health guidelines into your daily life.

This website is part of a research project being conducted by Dr. Katie Swacha at the University of Maine. It aims to provide a space for people to share how they are ‘coping with COVID’ throughout their everyday routines and to improve our understanding of how we are all interpreting social distancing and other public health guidelines on a daily basis.
