Mental health must be part of Covid-19 response because it is another ‘pandemic’ looming over us all, a Catholic official said Thursday. Camillian Father Dan Cancino said the effects of Covid-19 are here to stay, including in the brain, “so we have to act to contain it”. “This is another pandemic aside from Covid-19,” said Cancino, executive secretary of the bishops’ Episcopal Commission on Health Care. The priest was speaking during a virtual press conference for the national celebration of the World Day of Sick hosted by the Diocese of Naval.
