| Core Tip |
Positive association of lockdown relaxation and face-covering policies on the mental health (MH) of various population sub-groups is reported. Professional groups and health workers had lower generalised anxiety disorder (GAD-7) scores than other workers. During the compulsory face-covering phase, all professional groups improved on GAD-7 and impact of events scale-revised (IES-R) scores. Significant improvements in MH scores were found among non-key workers. Gender was associated with different MH outcomes during the lockdown, with females scoring higher on the GAD-7 and IES-R scales than males. However, both groups showed a significant improvement in MH status during the period of face-covering, with slightly higher improvements noted in males. |
