Kya aapke dimag mein coronaphobia hai? Well, this might sound like a toothpaste ad, but it actually is the need of the hour. After “covidiot” and “covid anxiety”, coronaphobia is emerging as the new term to come out of the pandemic. Apparently if all you can think of is covid-19 then sister you might be dealing with coronaphobia.

As per a study published in the Asian Journal of Psychiatry, coronaphobia can be defined as the extreme fear of contracting covid-19 virus—which takes a toll on the mental health of the person. A person who is coronaphobic is afraid of going out, meeting people, and gets worked up by any piece of information about this novel virus.
