Abstract

The outbreak of COVID-19 first took place in China in 2020 and the Chinese government took many immediate policies to prevent the spread of the virus. All these behaviors are likely to make an impact on people’s mental health, especially adolescents and young adults who are more vulnerable. Thus, in this work, a case study was done to determine the effect of the pandemic on these people’s feelings, mental well-being, and relationship with their friends and relatives. A face-to-face interview was conducted, which contains questions on various aspects like recreational activities and attitude towards the pandemic. The result showed that the pandemic only caused a limited effect on the interviewee’s psychological health and relationship with others while that of recreational activities was slightly more significant.
