The coronavirus disease has had an unprecedented impact on populations around the world. Not only was our physical health affected, but also our mental well-being suffered adversely due to the pandemic. The social distancing restrictions imposed by the government to avoid community transmission reduced physical proximity but created a severe psychological impact on people.
The sickness impact profile is one of the mediums used in public health to assess the behavioral impact of a sickness on an individual. Such a scale is particularly significant in the recent time of pandemic to understand the effect of a particular disease not just physically but also emotionally and psychologically.
