Abstract
Corona Virus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) has been causing a worldwide pandemic since the end of 2019. This study looked at the mental health of COVID-19 patients who had been quarantined. This cross-sectional study included fifty COVID - 19 patients who were under quarantine. Online self-reported questionnaires were used in the study. Demographic data and an inventory of pandemic-related stress factors (PRSF) were used to analyse COVID-19-related stress domains. The quarantined COVID - 19 patients had pandemic related stress among themselves. Lack of knowledge about infectiveness and virulence (78%), sleep disorders (94%), financial concerns (92 %) and feeling isolated and avoidance by others (90%) were the most common stressors. Eighty two percent of the patients felt that they were being protected by the family and relatives and only 48% felt that the government is taking the responsibility of protecting them. The findings show that COVID-19 patients in quarantine reported severe psychological distress. As a result, this study urge that required measures be taken to alleviate COVID-19 patients stress, with special focus paid to patients perceptions of stigma and coping techniques.

Summary
SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19), a novel betacoronavirus discovered in December 2019, causes a severe systemic multi-organ illness. The condition is typically defined by a respiratory infection, but it can result in other organ dysfunction, with long-term and sometimes fatal implications. The main source of infection for coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is patients infected with SARSCoV-2. Infected people who are asymptomatic can spread the virus to others, primarily through aerosols from the respiratory tract, and through direct touch 1. As well as elderly persons with underlying conditions, are more likely to become infected with the virus and develop severe disease. There are currently no particular medications available to treat this illness. Antiviral and traditional medicine treatment, isolation, symptomatic support, and constant monitoring of disease progression are all part of the treatment and nursing [1]
