<Anchor> The number of



corona19 confirmed cases is gradually decreasing, but the number of people who feel depressed due to the corona is increasing rapidly.

It turns out that the degree of depression has also gotten worse, but this psychological quarantine in the Corona era is also a part that authorities need to pay more attention to.



Medical reporter Cho Dong-chan covered it.

Nurse Kim Mo has refrained from going out as much as possible after the Corona 19 epidemic.



[Nurse: It is a situation that may occur when you go out with my child, and it is asymptomatic without my knowledge, but it can cause damage to the patient I care for again...

.] In a



domestic survey, 60% of corona19 medical staff were diagnosed as psychologically high-risk.



[Nurse: It's a lot of hard work emotionally and physically, but I don't have any more outlets to solve it.

I don't think I can go long.

I am considering taking a leave of work.] The situation of the



general public is similar, but the rate of experiencing depression in this month from last April has increased significantly, exceeding 70%, and the degree of depression has increased.



The reason was the frustration of not being able to meet people and anxiety about the job.



[Woman in her 20s: It is a field that has to go abroad a lot, but if the corona continues to happen in the future, I haven't thought about other fields (occupations).]



Online classes also seem to have had a lot of influence.



[Men in their 50s: (daughter child) meets friends and does social life. Actually, it’s a freshman now, and now (that experience) is all flying away



. They say that exercising is the most important thing.



[Yeon-Jung Lee/Professor, Department of Mental Health Medicine, Soonchunhyang University Hospital: I need to maintain a relationship through one-on-one meetings, phone calls, or things like this.

There are not many people, but you should walk a little while walking like this.]



The degree of social depression is also an important factor to consider in deciding the stage of quarantine due to the prolonged corona crisis.
