However, in order to carry out this epidemic period in a healthy and conscious manner, determining the anxiety levels of individuals in the society and supporting them psychologically is of great importance.

In China, where the pandemic started, shopping malls and schools were closed for a while, and city entrances and exits were stopped for a while.
