INTRODUCTION
A Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus also called as coronavirus illness 2019, was
specifically discovered within the Wuhan, China in the late 2019. Though the outbreak of
infectious virus has outcome in the variations of the severity of specific symptoms, the infectious
nature of the virus generally quickly rises within the global pandemic. It has been found out by
the reports that the number of COVID-19 cases was generally on the decline until the fall in the
year 2020, when the individual’s rate about infection with the coronavirus has begun to enhance
with the varying nature of severity after the social gathering that is linked with the fall as well as
winter holiday seasons. The outbreak of coronavirus generally causes the viral infection among
the residents within the region, consisting those who are unsure how and when they have been
contaminated. The WHO generally has confirmed a COVID-19 within the region like America,

the negative psychological consequences as well. Due the outbreak of COVID-19, the mental
well-being of the people has been significantly threatened due to having the fear of adapting
infectious virus, publishing the rumours and misinformation, having fear of mortality and so on.
Within the research project, there is a discussion about the essence of lived experience of
COVID-19 among the public. It will cover the specific research methodology sections which
include the description about search strategy and many more. In addition to this, it will include
comparison among some of the chosen research articles using CASP tool linked with the topic of
interest.

From the provided three research articles, the chosen article is about essence of lived
experience of COVID-19. In the year 2020, the World Health Organization has declared the
