摘要：The experience of being in lockdown, isolated, and socially distant, even from family and friends, has become the ‘new normal’ during the COVID-19 pandemic. People across the world are increasingly using electronic devices (e-devices) to connect socially, for education, and for work. Anecdotally, voices have emerged that predict that COVID-19 will revolutionise how we interact beyond the pandemic, enabling people to connect over large geographical areas. However, the increased use of e-devices may have far-reaching consequences on body systems, including the musculoskeletal and visual systems. These complications are often overlooked due to the focus on the medical management of COVID-19. Attention should be paid to these complications as they have the potential to become a serious public health issue.
