Abstract:
The current COVID-19 pandemic has affected our daily lives and routine to a large extent. Be it our over-burdened health related services or fear of economic loss on a larger scale, this pandemic has affected everyone in some way or the other. No doubt that those getting infected with this virus are being affected the most but still there is a huge population which is not infected with this virus. This group of population is suffering due to its pre-existing illness/disease which is not being addressed currently because of various unavoidable measures like lockdown taken up by many governments across the world. This stratum of population may be hidden as of now but it will eventually pop-out when the current pandemic gets over or is slowed down and this may lead to another health crisis post COVID-19 pandemic.
