(AFRICAN EXAMINER) – The United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF) warns that stay-at-home policies are threatening the mental health of 332 million children worldwide.
In a report released on Thursday, UNICEF said the affected children had been caged at home for at least nine months since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic.
According to the agency, 139 million children globally have lived under required nationwide stay-at-home orders since March 11, 2020 when COVID-19 was characterised as a pandemic.
This, it said, means that they are required to stay at home with few exceptions, and they include children living in Nigeria, Paraguay and Peru.
