Many people may be experiencing increased anxiety during the pandemic, which experts say can be compounded by the sense of isolation that can come with social distancing.

在流行病期间，许多人可能会感到越来越焦虑，专家说，社交距离带来的孤立感可能会加剧这种焦虑。

That's why it's important for people who are vulnerable to anxiety to have access mental health care, panelists said during an American Lung Association event on Wednesday.

周三，在美国肺脏协会的一次活动中，小组成员说，这就是为什么对于易受焦虑影响的人来说，获得心理健康护理是很重要的。

"It's also really important to remember that one in five Americans had a diagnosed mental health condition before the pandemic," said Ken Duckworth, medical director of the National Alliance on Mental Illness. Those people still need access to mental health care, he said.

全国心理疾病联盟的医学主任肯·达克沃斯说:“要记住，在流行病之前，五分之一的美国人被诊断出有心理健康问题，这一点非常重要。”他说，这些人仍然需要获得心理卫生保健。

Duckworth also stressed the importance of telehealth services and phone sessions for people without internet access.

"Pain shared is pain halved," Duckworth said.

White House has new guidelines for schools
白宫对学校有新的指导方针

As President Donald Trump continued to call for students to return to classrooms, the White House released eight new recommendations for schools.

美国总统唐纳德·特朗普继续呼吁学生重返课堂，白宫为学校发布了8条新建议。

The recommendations are primarily basic hygiene tips and don't outline what schools should do if they find coronavirus cases in their halls.

这些建议主要是一些基本的卫生建议，并没有列出学校在他们的教室里发现新冠病毒病例时应该做什么。

The President said the school strategy mirrors the White House's national approach.

总统表示，学校的策略反映了白宫的全国策略。

"We cannot indefinitely stop 50 million American children from going to school and harming their mental, physical, emotional and academic development and inflicting long-term, lasting damage," he told reporters at the White House.

他在白宫对记者说:“我们不能无限期地阻止5000万美国儿童上学，从而伤害他们的心理、身体、情感和学业发展，造成长期、持久的伤害。”

The recommendations include ensuring that students and staff "understand the symptoms of Covid-19" and requiring "all students, teachers and staff to self-assess their health every morning before coming to school."

建议包括确保学生和工作人员“了解Covid-19的症状”，并要求“所有学生、教师和工作人员每天早上到校前对自己的健康状况进行自我评估”。

The recommendations also encourage the use of masks, but do not require students, teachers or staff to wear masks. They also "require students, teachers and staff to socially distance around high-risk individuals," however it's unclear how schools will go about doing that.

建议还鼓励使用口罩，但不要求学生、教师或工作人员佩戴口罩。他们还“要求学生、教师和工作人员与高危人群保持社交距离”，然而学校将如何做到这一点尚不清楚。

Trump said the federal government will provide up to 125 million masks to school districts around the nation.

川普表示，联邦政府将向全国学区提供多达1.25亿个口罩。

Kellyanne Conway, counselor to the President, said earlier that despite the resources the federal government will provide, the decision to reopen schools will still need to be made at a local level.

总统的顾问凯莉安妮·康威早些时候表示，尽管联邦政府将提供资源，但是否重开学校的决定仍需要在地方层面做出。
