While isolation measures are crucial for flattening the curve and containing the spread of the virus, the circumstances negatively affect mental health.
The coronavirus pandemic has an obvious physical impact — over 60,000 people in the U.S. have tested positive for COVID-19, and more than 1,000 people have died so far in the country — but there are also psychological effects as well.
‘August, could be July, could be longer than that’The U.S. has seen an increasing number of coronavirus cases since the first case back in January. New York City has become the country’s epicenter of the pandemic while other states are following at varying levels of spread. Brad Klontz, a financial psychologist and associate professor at Creighton University, compared it to retirement.
‘A hit’ to productivity and performanceAside from the psychological aspects, Swody said, being forced to work from home in these circumstances could hamper productivity. Another barrier to productivity is the natural distraction of family members in close quarters. Futhermore, whether or not people realize it, is the consumption of news and social media related to coronavirus.
She continued: “Just give people a moment to be human and not just be a robot. People really need that social connection. And to go along with that, get the group together. Find a way to get the group together virtually, and if possible, some type of video conferencing.”
