Abstract
Coronavirus outbreak is spreading quickly. Thousands
have been sickened by the new coronavirus in many
countries, including Iran. According to the World Health
Organization (WHO), the outbreak was first reported by
Chinese officials on December 31, 2019, in Wuhan, a city of
11 million in Hubei province. To date, 40,000 people around
the world have been affected.[1‑3] Large‑scale outbreak of
the new coronavirus has direct and consequential social
impacts. For instance, widespread public panic during
disease outbreaks can lead to mental health problems in the
general population.[4] The surrounding general population
with subsequent rapid spread is at risk of developing fear,
social isolation, and anxiety. This fear can spread rapidly
and is not limited to those experiencing the event directly.
