Changing a password only helps if the password has already been compromised, is used elsewhere, or is easy to guess or break using a dictionary attack, social media data, etc. If your password is already unique and reasonably strong (e.g., created by a password manager and not used elsewhere), changing it doesn't help. If your password is weak or shared, then, yes, change it right away.
I really miss swimming. My local pool is open, but I don't think it's safe, even with only one person per lane, since we're all breathing heavily.
