The coronavirus pandemic has had a major psychological impact on public health and has raised serious concerns for those infected or at risk. Isolation and reduced social contact to contain the contraction of the virus onto the population have restricted people to seek out support from their family and their social networks which in turn elevated the risk for increased anxiety and depression symptoms among individuals.
