Covid-19 Disease, Self-Isolation and Physical Inactivity

Abstract

The COVID-19 disease caused by the SARS-CoV-2 virus, which started in Wuhan, the capital of China's Hubei province, was declared a global epidemic by the World Health Organization. Restrictive measures based on physical (social) distance are taken to prevent the spread of the disease, which manifests itself with symptoms such as high fever, dry cough, shortness of breath, weakness, and diarrhea. According to the settlement rules, nationwide quarantines covering mass quarantine have proven effective in preventing the COVID-19 outbreak in most countries. The COVID-19 pandemic also causes mental health problems in many of the environments most affected by the pandemic due to the experience of illness, physical distances, stigma and discrimination, and job losses. Healthcare workers, COVID-19 patients and patients with other illnesses, children, women, youth, and the elderly experience post-traumatic stress disorders, anxiety, depression, and insomnia. Also, prolonged homestay and physical inactivation come with risks that can endanger people's health. As a result of physical inactivity. There are potentially undesirable risks of staying home for a long time, such as muscle atrophy, adipose tissue increase, and weight gain, exposure to insufficient sunlight, the emergence of cardiovascular diseases, suppression of the immune system, loneliness and behavioral disorders. The purpose of this article is to evaluate and discuss possible risks from physical inactivity.
