Abstract

Coronavirus (COVID-19) is affecting people's social connectedness, their trust in people and institutions, their jobs and incomes, as well as imposing a huge toll in terms of individuals’ level of anxiety and worry (World Health Organization, 2020). In line with the increasing number of patients affected by the virus, we must be aware of the psychological or mental health impact from this pandemic, which is not only a state of medical crisis but also has a great impact on the nation’s economy and people’s holistic well-being.
