Special Issue on Mental Health and the COVID-19
Pandemic
Fear, worry, and stress are normal responses to perceived or real threats,
and at times when we are faced with uncertainty or the unknown. So it is normal
and understandable that people are experiencing fear in the context of the
COVID-19 pandemic. Added to the fear of contracting the virus in a pandemic
such as COVID-19 are the significant changes to our daily lives as our
movements are restricted in support of efforts to contain and slow down the
spread of the virus. Faced with new realities of working from home, temporary
unemployment, home-schooling of children, and lack of physical contact with
other family members, friends and colleagues, it is important that we look
after our mental, as well as our physical, health
