To analyze the differences in psychological impact, levels of depression, anxiety and stress, the independent sample t-test was used to compare the mean score between the first and second survey. In both surveys, physical symptoms, very poor self-rating of health status, and history of chronic illness were significantly associated with higher IES-R scores, DASS stress, anxiety or depression subscale scores ( Table 2 ). The important unexpected finding of our study is the stable levels of stress, anxiety and depression despite sharp increases in the number of COVID-19 cases between the two surveys as well as statistically but not clinically significant reduction in the psychological impact on the general population.	./cache/cord-307741-j6ihxzm2.txt	./txt/cord-307741-j6ihxzm2.txt
