We are in a situation none of us have ever experienced. Never in any of our lifetimes have we experienced large scale quarantines, travel restrictions, and orders to stay away from those we love. While these are necessary steps to protects ourselves and the vulnerable in our society, they are very difficult to deal with on an individual level. Homeopathy can help deal with the stress, fear, and anxiety.
The most helpful remedy is one that your homeopath finds for you, called a constitutional remedy. This addresses your own individual experience best. Aside from that, the following are commonly used and can be very helpful.
Aconite: Works quickly on extreme fear or anxiety. There may be a sudden and intense fear of death as well as trembling. It is not a long lasting remedy and may need more repetition than others. It may need to be followed by another remedy, but it can be a good place to start.
Arsenicum album: Useful when there is a great deal of restlessness. Pains may be burning and alleviated by heat. This person is thirsty for small sips rather than drinking quickly or in gulps. There is a need to control their environment and possibly even those around them. This may manifest as cleaning, or in simply needing order.
Phosphorus: Helps in cases where the person has "burned out". They want people around them and they feel very fearful; looking for reassurance. If they are thirsty, they want cold drinks and might gulp them down. They may vomit or feel nauseous shortly after eating or drinking.
Natrum muriaticum: This person does not want people to see how they are feeling. They feel grief and fear in private, which makes them seem indifferent, even though they feel things deeply. They worry about being rejected and may be claustrophobic.
Argentum nitricum: Normally there is a significant craving for sugar. There is likely to be diarrhea with the anxiety. Fear can be of bridges, heights, and health. The person needing this remedy will probably seem to be in a big hurry at all times.
Nux vomica: Fear and anxiety make the person who can benefit from this remedy very irritable and angry. They are easily offended and sensitive to outside impressions such as light, conversation, and smells. Cold air may make them worse.
This is just a very brief overview. There are multiple other remedies that may be helpful depending on your individual symptoms. If you need help choosing a remedy, contact your homeopath for help.
