Abstract

Due to lockdowns during the COVID-19 pandemic, healthcare was postponed and sectors were closed. People with existing health problems were particularly vulnerable to the consequences. In the long term, this may have lasting effects on their health and labour market position. Mitigating factors, such as a social network or remote care, may have reduced the impact of lockdown measures. Understanding the effects of lockdowns and mitigating factors can help support these people after the pandemic.
