 APPENDIX 01
A recent study from medical journal The Lancet notes that the psychological
impact of quarantine can be great, resulting in a range of mental health
concerns from anxiety and anger to sleep disturbances, depression and
post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Indeed, separate studies of
quarantined patients of SARS, a previous coronavirus outbreak in 2003,
found between 10% and 29% suffered PTSD.
The Lancet’s report found mental health concerns could be inflamed by
stressors associated with quarantine, such as infection fears, frustration,
boredom, inadequate supplies, lack of information, financial loss and stigma
associated with contracting the disease.
That can be an issue not only for people with pre-existing mental health
concerns, but also those in seemingly good psychological health.
Identifying mental health concerns:
The CDC notes that people should look out for signs of distressed mental
health in themselves and others. Symptoms may include:
— Fear and worry about your own health
— Changes in sleep or eating patterns
— Difficulty sleeping or concentrating
— Worsening of chronic health problems
— Increased use of alcohol, tobacco, or other drugs

Recognizing the problem, the World Health Organization this week released
guidance on how people can protect their mental health during the
outbreak.
“Humans are social animals,” professor Ian Hickie at the University of
Sydney’s Brain and Mind Centre told CNBC Make It. “Prolonged quarantine
or social isolation (without compensatory methods in place) will exacerbate
anxiety, depression and a sense of helplessness.”
What individuals can do?
However, as more and more people face the prospects of several weeks of
quarantine or social distancing, individuals will also have to establish their
own ways of preserving their mental health at home.
“CNBC Make It” compiled the advice of psychology experts, as well as
several health bodies, to find out their “top tips”:
Create a routine — Change out of your pyjamas, shower and make a to-do
of all the things you want to achieve each day to create a sense of normality
and productivity.
Break up your day — Find tasks to break up your day and, where possible,
change your environment for different activities.
Take care of your body — Eat healthily, get plenty of sleep and exercise Take one day at a time — Try not to project too far into the future.
daily. That could include conducting indoor workout classes, stretching and Remember that these are temporary measures and you are not alone.
practicing meditation. “My advice? Always the same,” said Friedman.
Help others — If you’re not under strict isolation rules yourself, and you’re
“Stay in contact with people — virtually — engage in activities that give you
in a position to do so, find ways to support those in need by offering to run
pleasure and a sense of meaning, and do what you can to help others, which
errands and collect supplies for them.
is a remarkable antidote to depression.”
Stay connected — Make the most of technology and stay in touch with
colleagues, friends and family via phone calls, texts, social media and video

during-quarantine.html
Limit media intake — Stay informed about the situation via reliable sources,
but limit your news and social media intake to avoid feeling overwhelmed.
Prepare medical supplies — The National Alliance on Mental Illness advises,
where necessary, asking your doctor for extended prescription supplies to
tide you over for quarantine periods.
Fight boredom — Make the most of catching up TV series, reading and
exploring projects you have been putting off to beat boredom and stay
mentally active.
Avoid burnout — Set strict limits to your work to avoid becoming
overwhelmed and make time to unwind.
Focus on the positives — Amplify good news stories and honour caregivers
working tirelessly to resolve the situation.
