Abstract
Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is defined as an illness caused by a novel coronavirus now called severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2; formerly called 2019-nCoV), which was first identified amid an outbreak of respiratory illness cases in Wuhan City, Hubei Province, China. It was initially reported to the WHO on December 31, 2019. On January 30, 2020, the WHO declared the COVID-19 outbreak a global health emergency.
Viruses released in respiratory secretions can infect other individuals via direct contact with mucous membranes. Droplets usually cannot travel more than 6 feet. As the pandemic progresses, it is regrettable to know the health care workers are being infected constantly.

The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) crisis places additional pressure on doctors and the healthcare system in general and research shows that such pressure brings a greater risk of psychological distress for doctors.
In a pandemic, the number of patients requiring treatment increases significantly, placing strain on healthcare resources and personnel alike. Additionally, doctors perceive a greater risk of self-owing to their exposure to the patients who are most poorly – adding further stress.
