Pandemic fatigue

Crowds that go against the advice of health officials can be seen during pandemic fatigue. Here, shoppers visit a shopping district in Tokyo despite a stay-at-home advisory during the official lockdown period of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Pandemic fatigue is understood as a natural and expected reaction to sustained and unresolved adversity[1] in people's everyday life. Those affected show symptoms of feeling burnt out and tired, while also expressing feelings of demotivation to engage in protection behaviors and seek COVID-19 related information as complacency, alienation and hopelessness.[2]
