N2 - Comment on ‘‘Mental health: why it still matters in the midst of a pandemic’’ After the World Health Organization declared COVID-19 disease a pandemic, the number of confirmed cases has progressively increased to more than 1,600,000, including 95,000 deaths, which has led to the implementation of quarantine and isolation strategies worldwide. However, approaches highly focused on COVID-19 infection control may tend to ignore the psychosocial consequences of the outbreak. As da Silva et al. recently stated, the stress experienced by patients, healthcare personnel and communities could increase the possibility of anxiety, depressive, and stress-related disorders, which could add an underestimated additional risk during the epidemic
