Abstract
The COVID‐19 pandemic, which spread quickly across
the globe toward the end of 2019 and throughout 2020
impacted almost every aspect of daily life [1]. It generated
unprecedented uncertainty in the global economy,and
disrupted daily routines. Individuals must navigate
quarantines, school closing, job insecurity, significantly
impairing the physical, mental, social, financial well‐
being of people [2–5].
The impact of the pandemic was more severe than
global financial crisis, which was devastating as well to
the health and welfare of the human population [6].
The World Health Organization (WHO) on January 30,
2020 announced that the SARS‐CoV‐2 crisis affected all
humans globally with countless fatalities, destabilizing
the economy order [7]. Preliminary estimates indicate that the total number of global “excess death”
attributable to COVID‐19 in 2020 amount to at least
3 million or higher than official figures tracked by the
WHO [8, 9].
