Summary
The COVID-19 outbreak became increasingly widespread towards the end of January 2020 and drew worldwide attention. An example of a stressor would be the severity and uncertainty surrounding the pandemic These factors can cause significant stress to any individual in society due to the lack of information about the COVID-19 virus, the use of personal protective equipment, social restrictions, as well as stigmatization and the spread of false information, which have significant psychosocial consequences in society. The stigma and discrimination caused by the spread of misinformation has worsened the stress response of COVID-19 patients (Hyun et al, 2020) This complex situation requires all parties to quickly adopt new health protocols and acquire information about COVID-19 since individuals and communities may experience mental health issues due to the conditions caused by the COVID-19 pandemic (Sim & How, 2020)
