Life after lockdown: Will our social habits be changed forever?
Drastic changes to our routines have forced us to alter our social habits and re-evaluate our relationships - the effects of which could continue into our lives after lockdown, according to experts speaking to Euronews.

These changes could also have a significant impact on our mental health even as stringent stay-at-home measures continue to lift across Europe.

"Massive levels of stress and anxiety are a big factor," clinical psychologist Dr Eddie Murphy told Euronews. "It will impact different populations in different ways, but individual stresses have been ramping up."
The Ireland-based psychologist noted that each nation would be looking at its own protections for mental health amid the pandemic, but stressed that psychological first aid would be necessary.
He said: "This would be a one-off immediate approach, and would be around for the general public to use if they are distressed."

According to Dr Murphy, the interventions being crafted are built around three specific stages: the first being broad-based for stress and anxiety, a second for generalised anxiety and "disrupted grief", and a peak level for those who could be experiencing post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).
He said the interventions would be in place for everyone, but would be on a particular alert for children, those with disabilities, and the vulnerable.
There will be 'a lot of bereavement'
At the start of the crisis, "we had the preparation phase with a lot of anxiety," Dr Murphy said, adding that we had since passed through a "heroic phase, where everyone pulls together".
"We're now in the disillusioned phase, where there's going to be a lot of exhaustion and disillusion."
Following this, Dr Murphy said comes the "recovery phase," which will bring "a lot of bereavement" and "disrupted grief".
