However, when social isolation is prolonged and undesired, it can breed loneliness and have detrimental effects on your emotional and physical well-being. COVID-19 lockdowns and associated physical distancing guidelines have caused widespread social isolation and feelings of loneliness.

Symptoms of Loneliness & Social Isolation

Read this article to learn more about how to cope with social isolation and loneliness.
