“…If no evidence is available, thorough accompanying research needs to be undertaken. Furthermore, all of these activities need to be equitable and inclusive (7). Even non-pharmacological interventions require a (health) impact assessment (8)-taking the perspective of the elderly.…”

“…Financings are required for the protection of healthcare professionals, caregiver stuffs responsible for emergency handling, intensive care unit (ICU) beds, protective equipment, diagnostic test kits, and mechanical ventilators and additional supports are required for the mentally and physically affected persons survived from COVID-19. Moreover, Governments, institutions and healthcare facilities and the general public all hold a social and ethical responsibility to assess and mitigate risks for those groups so often left behind (Berger et al, 2020). It is, also imperative to continue taking precautions, including screening, isolation of suspected cases and social distancing even after the pandemic is over.…”

The COVID-19 pandemic situation, disease intensity, weak healthcare facilities, unawareness, and misinformation led people to fear and anxiety in Bangladesh. This study intended to get peoples’ perception on psychosocial, socio-economic and environmental crisis amidst the pandemi. An online questionnaire was surveyed nationwide (respondents no.1066). Datasets were analyzed through the Principal Component Analysis (PCA), hierarchical Cluster Analysis (CA), Pearson’s correlation matrix (PCM), Linear regression analysis (LRA), and psychometric characteristics were included in the Classical Test Theory (CTT) analysis. There were good associations among the psychosocial, socio-economic and environmental parameters. A significant association between fear of COVID-19 with struggling healthcare system (p<0.05) was found. Also, negative association between fragile health system and government’s ability to deal with the pandemic (p<0.05) revealing poor governance. Again, a positive association of shutdown and social distancing with fear of losing life, and due to lack of health treatment (p<0.05) reveals that shut down hampers normal activities which may lead to mental and economic stress. However, a positive association of socio-economic impact of the shutdown with poor people’s suffering, the price hike of basic need, hamper of formal education (p<0.05) may lead to severe socio-economic and health crisis. There is a possibility of climate-induced disaster during/after the pandemic, which will create severe food insecurity (p<0.01). Daily wage earners and poors will suffer most by food and nutritional deficiency, and the country may face huge economic burden. Proper risk assessment and communications is needed to alleviate fear and anxiety. Thus, financial support and mental boosting is required.

“…While increasing global attention has been given to infected patients and the risk for infection of frontline healthcare professionals (Berger et al, 2020), a parallel concern has been expressed for the psychological impact that the COVID-19 pandemic may have in terms of anxious and depressive reactions among the general population (Lima et al, 2020). As evidence suggests a particularly unfavorable mental health outcome in COVID-19 frontline responders (Lai et al, 2020), we register the second case of suicide among female nurses leading the fight against COVID-19 in Northern Italy.…”
