The impact of large-scale disasters on mental health is well studies. However, there is a lack of documentation on the effect of a prolonged pandemic restriction on the health and well-being of affected communities. Further given the strain on our local health systems brought by the pandemic, it is important to find efficient and effective means to address mental health needs without relying only on the availability of health professionals. If indeed it can be shown that pandemics and other such related prolonged health emergencies, generate adverse impact on people’s health and well-being, especially mental health, understanding such phenomenon is critical to develop resilient communities. There is emerging evidence that for communities exposed to the stresses of modern day living, health outcomes are largely affected by lifestyle factors like sleep, exercise, diet, and engagement in meaningful social interactions. Through the work of several researchers, there is evidence that lifestyle modification like physical exercise improves mental health and wellbeing which in turn leads to better health outcomes. Given that the public health measures imposed during the lockdown pandemic, included restrictions on the normal routine of daily living, including work, school, social and religious activities, and even leisure activities, it is reasonable to assume that many families and individuals will be at risk for unhealthy behaviors. These behaviors may include but not limited to disrupted sleeping patterns, lack of physical activity or adequate exercise, poor eating habits, and social isolation. If the prolonged lockdown restrictions lead to poor psychological adjustments, they will have a negative impact in terms of health and well-being of people. Since wellbeing, both at individual (happiness) and relational (harmony) levels, is associated with better health outcomes, then poor sense of wellbeing will be expected to have the opposite effect. Understanding people’s health-seeking behavior during the prolonged lockdown will allow public health programs to target specific health behaviors that contributes to adverse health outcomes.
