Abstract

Novel Coronavirus (COVID-19) is a dangerous virus that was first emerged in China at December 2019. It has already affected more than 11.75 million people and killed more than 0.54 million people. The main purpose of this paper is to find out the present mental condition of Bangladeshi International students who are currently studying in Malaysia and the activities to overcome their loneliness or boringness. A systematic cross-sectional online survey regarding COVID-19 has been conducted from June 15 to June 25, 2020. After developing questionnaires utilizing Google form, it has been sent out to the participants using online platform and the responses of the participants have been recorded. Total 280 participants (100 female and 180 male) completed the survey. The average age of them is about 33 years. In addition, 39.29%, 32.14%, 28.57% of the participants are doing their Master's, Bachelor’s and PhD respectively. It has been observed that maximum male participants (58.3%) felt financial stress and maximum female participants (56%) felt horrified due to COVID-19. Additionally, it has been found that maximum male and female participants were utilized more time in the social media then the normal time. Since COVID-19 has already become a major issue all over the world, it is necessary to identify the mental health conditions and activities of people during this pandemic situation so that appropriate measures can be taken. More research should be conducted regarding mental health impact and possible solution. Hopefully, it will ease to provide fruitful information especially for the community health workers with a view to helping them tackle these psychological fitness related issues in response to other similar societal disasters. After the pandemic, follow-up should be made in order to improve mental health.
