People with Covid-19 anxiety syndrome may find it harder to return to normal living after pandemic
May 6 2021
‘Covid-19 anxiety syndrome’ may cause a significant number of people to struggle with reintegrating back into daily life as UK society returns to normal after the pandemic, says new research by London South Bank University (LSBU), in partnership with Kingston University.
The research findings show that one in five of the 286 UK-based survey participants scored highly on the Covid-19 anxiety syndrome scale, used by the researchers in February 2021.
Covid-19 anxiety syndrome consists of forms of coping such as a constant attention to threat, worry, avoidance and excessive checking, that can keep people locked into a state of continuous anxiety and fear of contracting the virus.
