Quarantine, Lockdown, and Isolation in the COVID-19 Pandemic

Résumé fourni par la source

This chapter considers the potential psychological impact of the quarantines, lockdowns, and isolation that have affected almost every country in the world as a result of the SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19) outbreak. It describes the published literature on the short-term and long-term psychological impact of other (pre-2020) pandemic-related quarantines, identifies factors associated with this psychological impact pre-quarantine, during quarantine, and in the long term, discusses how this applies to the COVID-19 pandemic, and suggests how the psychological impact of quarantine and isolation might be reduced.
