Victorians less satisfied with life, less connected to others in coronavirus second wave
In the shadows of North Melbourne’s social housing estates, a group of young African footballers are laughing while being put through their paces.
Key points:
- VicHealth says 53 per cent of people reported having low to medium life satisfaction during Victoria’s second wave
- That was up from 20 per cent before the coronavirus pandemic
- Young people, those on low incomes and people with disabilities were worst affected
Four months earlier, many of the youths spent a fortnight confined to the towers amid an outbreak at the height of Victoria’s second wave of COVID-19.
The way the towers were locked down suddenly, with many not understanding what was happening, caused a great deal of uncertainty and mental anguish, community leader Ahmed Dini said.
