(Empfehlungen für körperliche Aktivitäten während des COVID-19 Virusausbruchs)

The psychological stress of remaining in a confined space causes endocrinological changes tha tinturn, affect immunestatus and have other negative psychological effects including post-traumatic stress symptoms, confusion, an danger.
