Changes and Transformations

The changes and transformations that the whole world is witnessing as a result of the outbreak of the Corona pandemic has had severe psychological, social and economic repercussions and has affected people’s movement and life. The lockdown due to the quarantine has resulted in the absence of outdoor activities to minimize the spread of the new Coronavirus. This has created some fear of the future psychological effects on the mental state of individuals within the community. The physical and mental health conditions resulted by the stressful quarantine pressures, such as fear of virus infection, frustration, boredom, shortage of adequate medical supplies, lack of information, financial losses, and feeling of shame in cases of having the disease, widen the gap and increase the intensity of the crisis.
