Agata Łaszewska co-authored a new ASPHER report on Lockdown-induced illnesses

In order to curb the spread of the pandemic, many governments introduced country-level lockdowns involving a range of social restrictions designed to limit physical-social interactions and mobility. However, these measures have also resulted in extensive unintended adverse health effects on populations worldwide.

This ASPHER Report ‘What are the COVID-19 10 Lockdown-induced illnesses and why should European public health systems be investigating their epidemiology, treatment, and prevention?’ aims to explore the anticipated long-term impacts of pandemic-induced lockdowns across Europe on different aspects of health that have been less commonly studied and explored.
