Description
The coronavirus pandemic affects the lifestyle, mental and physical health of people, especially those at direct risk of becoming infected. Data were collected from 296 healthcare workers through anxiety, self-assessment physical and mental health questionnaire. The findings suggest significant socio-demographic differences in the perception of and response to official information and measures taken during the pandemic, highlighting the complexity of public attitudes towards authorities in managing the crisis.
