在较贫穷国家艰难应对现有负担之际，新冠肺炎带来了一系列新的挑战。然而，旨在减缓感染率的封锁限制本身也带来了一些问题，如失业增加、贫困和心理健康问题。虽然封锁方法可能对公共卫生有效，但人们对其制定方式、一些限制的经验基础以及社会影响表示担忧。还有人担心，新冠肺炎及相关限制措施对被边缘化群体的影响过大。作为一门主要关注人类行为的学科，心理学在应对这一流行病方面做出了很大贡献。
COVID-19 has brought a new set of challenges at a time when poorer nations were struggling with existing burdens. However, the lockdown restrictions aimed at slowing the infection rate has created problems of their own such as increased unemployment, poverty, and mental health problems. While the lockdown approach may be effective for public health, there is concern about the way it is formulated, the empirical basis of some restrictions, and societal impacts. There is additional concern that COVID-19 and associated restrictions disproportionately affect marginalised groups. As a discipline primarily concerned with human behaviour, Psychology has much to contribute to addressing the pandemic.
