Abstract

The Coronavirus has infected up to 900 million people as of 11 Jan 2023 in China Mainland, which is more than 60% of the population. The sudden and unprecedented nature of pandemic has resulted in a range of psychosomatic issues among the population. These issues can manifest in a variety of ways and it is important to address these issues as they can have serious consequences for individuals' mental and physical health. The lifting of lockdown measures in China presents an opportunity to address these issues and provide support to those who have been affected. © 2023 The Authors.
