INTRODUCTION
Severe-Acute-Respiratory-Syndrome-CoronaVirus-2 (SARSCoV-2/Covid-19)
increases morbidity in healthcare workers (HCWs), who make up a
significant proportion of infections, hospital admissions and
deaths1. Aside from physical illness, covid-19
significantly affects psychological health in the general population, in
pregnant women2 and HCWs. Working on the frontline
compounds the psychological burden on providers caring for patients with
Covid-193-4. It is essential that healthcare
institutions understand the stress their staff are experiencing, which
may translate into anxiety and depressive symptomatology. To this end we
assessed anxiety and depression among HCWs due to the Covid-19 pandemic.
