Impact of Quarantine on Mental Health

Abstract

The global outbreak of COVID 19 caused uncertainty and stress among people throughout the world. In addition to that spending time in quarantine can cause a serious mental stress to everybody. The isolation forced by quarantine commonly makes people to feel that they have no control over the situation. It also causes the feeling that they are cut off from the rest of the world and unable to carry out their usual duties. Even though quarantine is only temporary, brief periods of isolation and loneliness can have negative effect on both physical and mental well-being.
