The outbreak of COVID-19 has placed a significant amount of stress on financial situations, physical health, and relationships which in turn aversely affects mental health. Results from a questionnaire given to 7143 students of Changzhi medical college in China show that 24.9% (0.9% severe anxiety, 2.7% moderate anxiety, and 21.3% mild anxiety) of students are experiencing some level of anxiety as a result of the pandemic. Certain factors such as family income, place of residence, and whether relatives and/or acquaintances had been diagnosed with COVID-19 were shown to have significant associations with anxiety. Contrary to previous studies, gender differences were not established as a significant predictor.
