It continues to have significant effects at different levels, and poses a significant threat to mental health. A cross-sectional analytical study on the influence of COVID-19 on the psycho-mental health of health professionals and patients was carried out at Laquintinie Hospital in Douala during a period of 08 months from January 2021 to August 2021.
