 The Covid-19 pandemic has had significant impacts on the physical, mental and social well-being of millions of people, particularly those who were not directly affected by the virus. A study conducted during the first lockdown in the United Kingdom found that remote workers experienced associations between sedentary behavior and poor mental health, as well as between poor mental health and low work productivity. However, positive lifestyle changes such as increased physical activity and improved diet were associated with better mental health and work productivity. The study also revealed high rates of psychological distress among respondents without a diagnosis, as well as structural obstacles to remote working. These findings suggest the need for policies and strategies to promote sustainable remote working arrangements.
