Life on the edge as a mental health crisis looms

It is a tough time remaining productive and maintaining sanity in the Covid-19 era. And there is no end in sight as reports from the World Health Organisation say the pandemic will be with us for a while, and officials from the Ministry of Health say we are yet to get to the peak period.
