COVID-19 distractions

With the current situation of the COVID-19 pandemic, healthcare workers are faced with considerable stress and anxiety. A concern I have is behavioral drift and deviation from safety practices which would otherwise be normal operating procedure in undistracted workers. At your institutions, is any work being done now to address this potential concern? Am considering messaging with STAR (stop, think, act, review) and am interested in other ideas you may have.
Thanks and be safe!
