The mortality due to the COVID-19 pandemic is shooting up across the world in an apprehensive speed. People try to detach themselves from the current reality and turn towards something which gives them a brief relief. They try to find solace in snacks, TV shows, etc. However, the pandemic is actually a truth. This truth creates a negative feeling. All around words such as “lockdown; stay home, stay safe; wash your hands; wear a mask; maintain social distancing” is been heard continually. People have developed fear of death; fear of social security and fear of financial security. Covid19 and the associated lock down have brought about a strong emotional trauma to men, women and children across the globe. This creates stress among people. This empirical paper aims to identify the sources of stress occurred due to this pandemic and tries to suggest a few sustainable practices to manage stress.
