Ongoing Impacts of COVID-19

We have all experienced adjustments in day-to-day life. With the many adjustments that have been made, we continue to experience the effects of the pandemic on an ongoing basis. Individuals may be impacted by the following:

  • The need to work extra hours to compensate for income lost during lockdowns or unemployment.
  • High anxiety due to worrying about themselves and loved ones.
  • Increased feelings of isolation and loneliness which can lead to issues with both mental and physical health.
