According to the Inter-Agency Standing Committee Guidelines on Mental Health and Psychosocial Support (IASC), there can be long term consequences due to the coronavirus pandemic. Deterioration of social networks and economies, stigma towards survivors of COVID-19, possible higher anger and aggression of frontline workers and the government, possible anger and aggression against children and possible mistrust of information provided by official authorities are some of the long term consequences anticipated by the IASC.[1] Some of these consequences could be due to realistic dangers, but many reactions could be borne out of lack of knowledge, rumors and misinformation.
