Abstract

The novel Coronavirus (COVID-19), originating in Wuhan, China in December 2019, quickly escalated into a global health crisis, infecting individuals across all strata of society. Declared a pandemic by the World Health Organization, this unprecedented emergency prompted governments worldwide to implement strict lockdowns and quarantine measures. The sudden onset of these procedures has had significant psychological effects on individuals and communities. This paper reviews the psychological impacts of prolonged quarantine and discusses adaptive stress-coping strategies to mitigate these effects. Our goal is to highlight effective approaches to manage mental health amidst such crises, aiming to provide guidance for future public health emergencies.
