1 INTRODUCTION

The introduction of Corona-Virus Disease (COVID-19) has triggered a nationwide


public health emergency. To prevent the spread of the virus, emergency measures were
developed in India, resulting in restriction on all non-essential outdoor activities. With
the closing of educational establishments, something like a quick shift from physical to
digital learning becomes visible. Virtual education has been identified as a viable
substitute for traditional academic progress. Coronaviruses are a broad group of viruses
that can cause a wide variety of illnesses that can range from the common cold to more
serious illnesses. Newborn or emerging coronavirus (nCoV) is indeed a different type
that has never been seen in living beings before. The novel virus was named "COVID-
19 virus" after that. Almost every day, most medical scientists, scientific experts, as well
as others discover something new about this virus. Almost everyone in the world is
aware that COVID-19 may not produce any symptoms at first because they were not
given access to any information at that time. The virus can be carried by anyone for up
to two weeks. Shortness of breath, persistent cough and low-grade fever that gradually
increase body temperature are some of the symptoms associated with the 2019
coronavirus.

Coronaviruses spread rapidly, especially from individual to individual. Although


there are no symptoms, people diagnosed with coronavirus can create an aerosol each
time an individual speaks or breathes. Aerosols are nanoparticles that can fly or linger in
the wind or atmosphere for up to three hours or more and include infectious viruses. If a
person has a weak or very low immunity, they can take this aerosol and then be
infected with the coronavirus easily. Outdoors, where air generally diffuses and
dissolves the virus, circulation is less likely than in homes, offices, or other enclosed
spaces with restrained air circulation. The virus can be transmitted through saliva, bodily
fluids, and excrement. It is unpredictable whether it has been spilt in vaginal fluid.
Quarantine has been used successfully in the past to curb epidemics of
infectious diseases around the world. However, it was an unpleasant experience for the
ordinary public. Restriction of movement, separation from family or friends, limited
freedom, and uncertainty of the future are all elements that may increase the
unpleasant psychological effects. Psychological symptoms, emotional disturbances,
depression, stress, post -traumatic stress symptoms, and irritability have all been linked
to large -scale outbreaks, as observed. Many people expressed fears and concerns
about their own safety, as well as the safety of their colleagues and family, as well as
the availability of infection control guidelines.

The World Health Organization or known as WHO provided us with some safety
measurement or guide for us to stop or prevent Covid-19 from spreading around the
world. Getting vaccines and boosters is the best way to reduce the risk of symptoms
that will occur in the future, especially when you have become severely ill, the doctor
hypothesizes saying that you got a COVID-19 infection. But along with vaccination is a
step we can all need and are advised to take to avoid getting infected and help prevent
the spread of the virus to others such as strangers or our own family. They include
wearing your mask when you need to or always wearing a mask when feeling sick,
avoiding crowds, and maintaining physical distance.

In terms of public mental health, the main psychological impact has been an
increased incidence of stress or anxiety among adolescents and those who are hardly
in school, college, or university. However, when additional measures and impacts are
implemented, such as quarantine and its impact on many people's typical activities,
loneliness, sadness, use of alcohol and harmful substances, as well as self-injurious or
suicidal behavior, are predicted to rise.
BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY.

Mental health is an important factor of total health. According to the World Health
Organization, unconscious mental health is a situation of mind in which a person is
capable of identifying his or her own abilities, managing with the demands of everyday
life, work successfully and beneficially, and devoting himself to his or her environment.
Among other things, mental health involves self-esteem, autonomy, emotional self-
efficacy, self-reliance, and self-awareness of one's own intelligence and mental
capacity. Anger, anxiety, panic, despair, desolation, quarantine, change of character,
low self-esteem, suicidal thoughts, and attempted suicide are the most common
symptoms of mental illness.

The Covid-19 epidemic has drastically altered the lives of undergrads. When
most people seem to think about it, this isn't exactly a surprise. Lectures can be made
up of a mixture of 100 students, and there are also student nights, social life, and other
campus-related gatherings. Covid-19 has an impact on students' social lives as well as
their education. For the majority of students, schooling has largely moved online.
Zooming, teams, and lecture recordings were all challenges for lecturers and
instructors.

As noted by Davidson, Dowrick, and Gunn (2016), social distance is not


beneficial or detrimental to some people, especially those with mental illness. People
with mental illness are neglected more than those without mental illness (Follmer &
Jones, 2017); sociocultural beliefs, practices, conventions, and unfavorable attitudes
toward mentally ill individuals lead to social isolation. Education, according to Arboleda
and Stuart (2012), helps alleviate the mental illness of people with mental illness. As
Cleveland et al. (2013) show, social separation is driven by a variety of attitudes and
views, and feelings of melancholy arise as a result of personal failure.
Students' motivation and achievement when adopting online learning techniques
throughout the PKP period is nowhere to be found. There is a dearth of learning
infrastructure as well as social support from professors and classmates. COVID-19 has
practical significance because it is an epidemic that has changed the learning process
of students, and it should not be ignored even after expiration. Policymakers should
consider increasing training and improving infrastructure to fulfill the demands of
seamless Internet access and an online learning platform. During a pandemic, students
are not able to focus fully on learning a subject using online learning techniques, and
they are less motivated. Faculty members must also be educated in providing online
classes and become more technologically proficient.

Social impact promotes a better academic environment by providing a complete


examination of individual student motivation, community curiosity, and learning
performance. These are among the studies that investigated learning motivation and
performance models, as well as the investigative community, during an outbreak.
Obviously, university students had a high level of motivation and curiosity of the
community before the outbreak, but this dropped drastically after the PKP. Research
shows how COVID-19 has a significant influence on the learning experience and how
the pandemic impacts student motivation.
