Abstract

The pandemic of COVID-19 declared by WHO in March 2020 significantly impacts human life [1]. This situation has changed in many human aspects, including the health system, economic and social life. The pandemic also affected human life, and it is influenced by how we live and engage with one another, how we do our job and communicate, and human mobility [2]. The pandemic of the COVID-19 situation and the policy set by the authorities have changed the pattern of human life, including habits, lifestyle, and daily routine. For example, during a lockdown or social restriction, many workers have been forced to work from home for prolonged periods, causing personal and professional lifestyles to become inextricably linked [3]. In addition, the school is closed, and parents have additional jobs at home, such as teaching and taking care of their children, thus creating a heavy burden for personal and parent responsibilities [3]. In turn, people may suffer from high life burden levels that impact the quality of life and balance of life. In the pandemic COVID-19 situation, a comfortable lifestyle in the past may become memories that may or may not be repeated in the future.
