Special Issue on COVID-19 and Mental Health Care

January 2020 the World Health Organization (WHO) declared the outbreak of a new
coronavirus disease, COVID-19, to be a Public Health Emergency of International
Concern. WHO stated that there is a high risk of COVID-19 spreading to other
countries around the world. In March 2020, WHO made the assessment that
