dc.descriptionVenkatesh et al point to quarantine and social isolation as contributors to frustration, boredom, low mood and potentially depression among those affected by recent pandemics. Anxiety was associated with stress and reduced sleep quality, and the combination of anxiety and stress reduced the positive effects of social capital on sleep quality5. Brooks et al11 found that during major infectious disease outbreaks, quarantine can be a necessary preventive measure; however, quarantine is also often associated with a negative psychological effect. Mukhtar et al point to substantial evidence from past epidemics on the detrimental impact of quarantine on psychological health. In a study carried out in the Basque community in Northern Spain, Ozamiz-Etxebarria et al8 found that although levels of anxiety were generally low at the start of the pandemic alert, younger individuals with chronic diseases reported more symptoms than the rest of the population.en_US
