Psychosocial impacts may include any of the following: Stigma associated with COVID-19, and someone with persistent symptoms may be shunned or isolated from the community, even if they are no longer contagious. Persistent symptoms impairing a person s ability to work or go to school, which can in turn lead to wage losses at the individual and family level. If work absences accumulate in large numbers, there can be consequences to the greater economy and to the availability of critical services.
