The Impact of Covid-19 on Mental Health

The sudden advent of Covid-19 on our shores and the realization that it was a highly infectious and potentially life-threatening virus led to the declaration of a state of disaster.

The regulations thereof resulted in the imposition of the harsh Level 5 Lockdown in March last year, which required that everybody be confined to their place of residence with the exception of those rendering essential services; this was one of the harshest lockdowns in the world. It would not be long before the toll of the disease itself, as well as the psycho social and the socio-economic consequences of the lockdown would be felt.
