Patient's confidence in hospital-infection-control-policy for COVID-19 and SWLS acted as independent moderator for FCV-19 and mental distress. FCV-19 and risk perception were found to be lower during mild confinement (Unlock 2.0), and were also the positive predictors of PSS; and negative predictors of SWLS. The higher SWLS correlated very well with lower COVID-19 risk perception, concerning PSS and MDAS.
