anxiety

The increasing trend of positive cases of COVID-19 causes anxiety in the general public and certain groups of people. A study identified high levels of anxiety among respondents related to COVID-19, where more than 80 % of them were preoccupied with thoughts about COVID-19, 72 % worried about themselves and those closest to them during the pandemic, and 40 % were paranoid with the contagious mind of COVID-19. The COVID-19 Pandemic also affects the psychological aspects of students (Cao et al., 2020), as well as being a major challenge to mental health of older adults (Yang et al., 2020).
