Abstract
COVID-19 has wreaked havoc worldwide, challenging science, basic humanity, and mankind by posing various physiological, psychological, social, economic, and political threats. We conducted an online survey in some regions of Maharashtra, prominently Pune and Mumbai to understand the psychological impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the general population and the mental health of the public. The motive behind the research was to focus on the positive as well as the negative impact of the coronavirus crisis on the public. Social distancing, quarantine, and lockdown have affected different people in different ways. Major emphasis was laid upon the dominant factors that affect the mental well-being of an individual such as sleep routine, work schedule and social life. The survey responses were analysed to obtain useful results. We present the statistical analysis of the collected data and discuss important correlations between various factors using Cramer’s V correlation method. It is critical to study the responses of the human brain in such cases, so that mankind can prepare for any other catastrophic events in future.
