Abstract
Keypoints Patients (45.5% of n = 233) and family members (41.5% of n = 41) experience more peace, as lockdown slowed down the pace of life. Some patients described feeling part of society again as everyone is advised to stay home. Patients worry about getting infected (50.5%) and needing treatment on the intensive care unit (58%). Family members mainly worry about infecting the patient (65.9%). Patients (36.3%) and their family (41.4%) feel lonelier because of lockdown regulations.
