Despite the high prevalence, studies on COVID-19 and its effect on the mental health of the people, its effect on Death Anxiety study are lacking in our country. People are suffering from stress, anxiety, depression, due to COVID. Many people lost their loved ones and facing trauma due to their loss, they are being self-isolated, which increases fear of death among the individuals. The increasing of COVID-19 pandemic is most serious problem in present, Vaccines are approved and 70% people are vaccinated now but still many active cases are present in country. Aim: Study was to assess the impact of COVID on the level of Death Anxiety of the individual, Researcher conducted the study by doing comparative study between Post-COVID diagnosed individual and Non-diagnosed individual. Methods: In study, sample has selected to match the study and help in achieving the purpose of the study. The researcher used quota sampling for the data collection, Data were collected online by the help of Google form by the help of Ex post facto research design using quota-sampling method. A sample of 60, 30 Post-COVID diagnosed and 30 Non-Diagnosed individuals of age group 20 to 55 years was selected for present research with the help of Death Anxiety Scale constructed by Dr. Upinder Dhar, Dr.Savita Mehta, Dr. Santosh Dhar. Statistical Techniques: Data were analyzed with the help of t-test. The statistical analysis of the research study was carried out by comparing the Post-COVID diagnosed individual to Non-diagnosed individual.

Thus result reveals that post-COVID diagnosed individual have greater death anxiety than individual who haven’t been diagnosed with COVID. So it can be concluded that Post-COVID diagnosed individual are in constant fear of death because they have experienced it while the Non-diagnosed individual are safe so they don’t have fear of death due to COVID.
