Brief Summary

Patients with COVID-19 diagnoses are treated under isolation in hospitals and with high-stress level. Currently, there is little information on the mental health implications of exposure amongst COVID-19 survivors and their family members. Research exploring the psychological impact amongst survivors of exposure to COVID-19 is desperately needed to understand the effects, mental health toll, and support required in survivors of COVID-19. This study aims to assess the psychological impact of the COVID-19 outbreak on COVID-19 survivors and their family members.
