Ülkeler sınırlarını kapatırken salgını kontrol altına almak amacıyla evde kalma kampanyalarını düzenlemiştir. Toplu alanlar arasında bulunan okul, park, spor salonları gibi çocukların yaşamında önemli yer tutan birimlerin kapanması çocuklarda kaygı, travma, depresyon gibi psikolojik sorunların daha sık gözlenmesine; yüz yüze eğitim yerine uzaktan eğitime geçilmesi ile de hem eğitime ulaşımda sorunlara hem de uyum sağlama sürecinde sorun yaşadıkları belirlenmiştir. Bu süreçte çocuk ve ergen ruh sağlığı sürecinde de aksamalar olmuştur. Salgınla birlikte çevrim içi psikoterapi kullanımı da artmıştır.
