How to combat loneliness during Covid-19 isolation

“The biggest challenge for me is going to be the lack of human interaction.”

In fact, loneliness can become a serious mental health threat, which is why we decided to ask our colleagues and friends to join our Seenit project to share tips and tricks on how to combat loneliness during Covid-19 isolation.
