Answer passage (source: UK):
page_title: Guidance Guidance for the public on the mental health and wellbeing aspects of coronavirus (COVID-19)
section_headers: Staying at home
Practical issues
section_content: Recent guidance is clear about the need for people to stay at
home. If you are feeling anxious it might
help to think about potential challenges and make a plan for them.
Supplies: Think about how you can get any supplies you need – either from
a neighbour, family friends or a delivery service so you don’t worry about
running out. Try to pick healthy food, especially as you might not get as much
exercise as normal.
Financial concerns: You may be worried about work and money if you have to
stay home – these issues can have a big impact on your mental health. For
guidance on what your rights are at work, what benefits you are entitled and
what further support is available please see our guidance for
employees or advice from
citizens advice or the National Debt
line.
If you care for other people: You may be worried about how to ensure care
for those who rely on you – either your dependants at home or others that you
regularly visit. Let your local authority know if you provide care, or support someone you don’t live with.
Further advice on creating a contingency plan is available from Carers
UK.

Reviewer feedback on this answer:
It gives different answers to the question that are helpful but it would be more helpful to actually have some steps to take to relieve stress.
This does not answer the question. This answer provides guidance and recommendation on how to make plans for essential supplies, financial concerns and caring for other people during the stay at home order. It does not provide any information on how a person can take care of their mental wellbeing when staying at home.

Answer passage (source: UK):
page_title: Guidance Guidance for households with grandparents, parents and children living together where someone is at increased risk or has symptoms of coronavirus (COVID-19) infection
section_headers: Looking after your wellbeing while staying at home
section_content: We know that staying at home for a prolonged period can be difficult,
frustrating and lonely for some people and that you or other household members
may feel low. It can be particularly challenging if you don’t have much space
or access to a garden.
It’s important to remember to take care of your mind as well as your body and
to get support if you need it. Stay in touch with family and friends over the
phone or on social media. There are also sources of support and information
that can help, such as the Every Mind Matters
website.
Think about things you can do during your time at home. People who have not
minded staying at home for a week have kept themselves busy with activities
such as cooking, reading, online learning and watching films.
Daily physical activity is important for health and wellbeing, including
managing stress, positive feelings and sleep. You can look for ideas of
exercises you can do at home on the NHS website. If you feel well enough you can take
part in light exercise within your home. For family members who are 70 or over
and are not symptomatic, it is important to avoid contact with other family
members as much as possible (see guidance above on persons age 70 or over.
Many people find it helpful to remind themselves why what they are doing is so
important. Hopefully, none of your family will suffer more than flu-like
symptoms. But some people are badly affected by coronavirus, and particularly
the elderly and those with certain medical conditions. By staying home, you
are protecting the lives of others, as well as making sure the NHS does not
get overwhelmed.
Remember it is OK to share your concerns with others you trust and in doing so
you may end up providing support to them too. Or you can use a NHS
recommended helpline.

section_headers: Additional advice for groups with specific mental health needs
Managing feelings of being trapped or claustrophobia
section_content: You are probably spending more time than usual at home so try to get outside
if you can, once a day. You could also open the windows to let in fresh air,
find a place to sit with a view outside, or sit on your doorstep or in your
garden if you have one. It can also help to regularly change the rooms you
spend time in (if possible). This can help to give you a sense of space.

Reviewer feedback on this answer:
It makes broad judgements and wouldn’t be helpful to everyone but it is something that can answer the question.
This does not answer the question. The question is asking for information on how to support themselves mentally when staying at home. And this answer provides information on how a person can get a sense of space when spending a lot more time at home during the pandemic.
