Abstract

The novel coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) infection has rapidly grown worldwide,¹ and many governments have implemented policies to control the infection rate. For example, school suspension, self-quarantine, requirement of citizens to stay at home,² travel and border controls, and discouragement of outdoor activities³ have been used. Although these actions emphasizing the importance of “spatial distancing” are based on the perspective of public health, they may result in health problems other than COVID-19 infection, such as psychological distress and fear.⁴ Therefore, the present authors examined the potential predictors for psychological distress among schoolchildren during COVID-19 school suspension.
