It’s now been more than a year since COVID-19 struck. Unlike most battles in history, those at the front lines are not soldiers but health care workers; the battlefield is not a specific place but everywhere, and the enemy is invisible to the naked eye. The conversation on health has certainly been a priority now more than ever, as humanity continues to struggle with the threat of the pandemic. There is more to this crisis than just managing the risks of people getting infected with the virus.
The restrictions imposed to slow down the spread of the pandemic have taken a toll on people’s mental health. Today’s workers, students, and everyone else find themselves in a situation they have not encountered before, and thus, they have had to learn how to adjust. Those who were able to keep their jobs are struggling with the work-from-home set-up, trying to manage both work and domestic life.
