Social distancing and lockdown will affect the mental health of the workers and business owners. Experts call isolation and loneliness health problems.

As per lancet: Most reviewed studies reported negative psychological effects including post-traumatic stress symptoms, confusion, and anger. Stressors included longer quarantine duration, infection fears, frustration, boredom, inadequate supplies, inadequate information, financial loss, and stigma.

As per Vox: “Social isolation has been associated with a significantly increased risk of premature mortality from all causes,” the report found, including a “50 percent increased risk of developing dementia,” a “29 percent increased risk of incident coronary heart disease,” a “25 percent increased risk for cancer mortality,” a “59 percent increased risk of functional decline,” and a “32 percent increased risk of stroke.”

Few interesting ways to ward off loneliness is playing, staying away from the corporate culture, and men learning to cook and impress their family members.
