RETRACTED: Chinese mental health burden during the COVID-19 pandemic

This article has been retracted: please see Elsevier Policy on Article Withdrawal (https://www.elsevier.com/about/our-business/policies/article-withdrawal). This article has been retracted at the request of the Editor in Chief. The article is a duplicate of a paper that has already been published in Psychiatry Research, volume 288 (2020) 112954 https://doi.org/10.1016/j.psychres.2020.112954. One of the conditions of submission of a paper for publication is that authors declare explicitly that the paper has not been previously published and is not under consideration for publication elsewhere. As such this article represents a misuse of the scientific publishing system. The scientific community takes a very strong view on this matter and apologies are offered to readers of the journal that this was not detected during the submission process. Ning Zhao and Ning Zhao's institution (Huazhong University of Science and Technology Union Shenzhen Hospital) were not involved in the manuscript and were not aware of the multiple submissions by Yeen Huang. Author Yeen Huang’s affiliation should be Shenzhen Second People's Hospital, not Huazhong University of Science and Technology Union Shenzhen Hospital
