A survey conducted on behalf of the Mental Health Commission of Canada (MHCC), found that many
people in Canada have seen their stress levels double since the onset of COVID-19, with fears over
physical well-being and personal finances cited as the primary reasons. Nearly 40 per cent reported that
their mental health is worse or somewhat worse than before the outbreak. But, despite their self-
awareness, more than three in four people reported that, over the last month (May 2020), they have
almost never or never sought mental health information online. Source: Mental Health Commission of
