Abstract
COVID-19 may have negative effects on mental health related to fear of contracting COVID-19, social distancing impacts, economic effects and continuous media coverage. Patients with schizophrenia may be particularly vulnerable to these negative effects (Holmes et al., 2020). The above is particularly relevant as face-to-face mental health contacts have reduced for patients with schizophrenia during this period.
