Meaning of "Corona Blues"
This refers to a state in which feelings of depression and psychological lethargy, resulting from the accumulation of social isolation and disruption of daily life due to the prolonged COVID-19 pandemic, make the return to normalcy feel slow and intensify feelings of mental distress.
"People experiencing "corona blues" often feel depression and lethargy more acutely as they go out less and lose face-to-face interaction."
