The impact of the Covid-19 pandemic has become a concern for everyone, including school-age children, as it may cause anxiety. Anxiety that occurs continuously can cause stress to depression.

Respondents with no anxiety and negative attitudes amounted to 7 people (11.9%), while those who were not anxious and had a positive attitude amounted to 52 people (88.1%).
