COVID-19 has been causing tragic outcomes all over the world. On one island nation, North Cyprus, that has been politically isolated from the rest of the world due to a very complicated history and political stance, the rapid enforcement of lockdown measures, despite having negative psychological effects, helped interfere with the spread of COVID-19 and flatten the curve. We propose that the traumas of the past may have caused resilient factors when faced with the psychological impact of COVID-19, and lack of trust toward the capacities of governing bodies may have caused people take strict precautions to help contain the spread of the virus.

新冠疫情在全球范围内造成了悲惨的后果。在北塞浦路斯这个岛国，由于历史和政治立场非常复杂，使其在政治上与世界其他地区隔绝。尽管封锁措施带来了负面的心理影响，但迅速实施这些措施有助于阻止新冠病毒的传播并拉平疫情曲线。我们提出，过去的创伤可能在面对新冠疫情的心理影响时产生了弹性因素，而对管理机构能力的缺乏信任可能导致人们采取严格的预防措施来帮助控制病毒的传播。（来源于 PsycInfo 数据库记录（c）2020 APA，保留所有权利）。
