11/04/2020. INN #D.550 Press Release Posted by New Delhi Province Delegate Thoombalan Babu Varghese
In these last days we are facing a situation that, for most of us, is new and involves a major change in routines, work, schedules, tasks, activity and mission focus. It is time to adapt to a reality that is imposed on us in a relatively unexpected way and not always easy to manage; but it can also be lived, from the Spirit and the trust, as an opportunity for growth and creativity.

Social isolation resulting from the Corona lockdown in itself may not lead to negative psychological consequences. However, prolonged confinement with a group people in restricted space can strain relationships which in turn can cause negative consequences. It is not social isolation per se, but the feeling of being alone, that is, feeling disconnected or alienated that in a significant way leads to negative consequences such as depression and anxiety.

Health-care professionals are vulnerable to high stress during this Covid-19 crisis. They are exposed to enormous pressure as well as danger: anxiety about their own safety in the absence of Personal Protective Equipment, lack of resources to treat patients, discouragement over inability to cope with patient demands, discouragement and grief over inability to save lives, anxiety about the wellbeing of their family members, as well as absence from them and so on.
In this context, it is essential to take care of their own wellbeing.
