The coronavirus pandemic has made socialising in person nigh-on impossible for over a year now, so it’s no wonder many people are feeling nervous about restrictions easing and the emerging phenomenon of ‘Covid anxiety syndrome’ is on the rise. If you suffer from it, you might feel reluctant to use public transport, apprehensive about developing a cough, or uneasy when in close proximity with other people.
