induced by COVID-19.
Introduction
Overview of the Research
COVID 19 is a highly pathogenic virus which is widely causing a global pandemic with a high
number of deaths and infected people. Therefore, COVID 19 is a virus which is originated by a
1

newly discovered virus. The corona virus is widely spread and has a huge impact over the
people and their living. To contain the diffusion of infection, several governments have enforced
restrictions on outdoor activities or even collective quarantine on the population (Coronavirus
and COVID-19: What You Should Know, 2020), thus, the virus is harmful for the human body
and higher interaction with the people who are affected with the virus may cause death and the
serious conduction of virus leads towards the major health issue and due to lacking with the
vaccine individual may face death or harsh health condition (Wang, Ng and Brook, 2020). The
existing project briefly analyses the impact of quarantine on lifestyle, involving nutrition and
physical activity and the influence of new technologies in dealing with this situation (Quarantine
during COVID-19 outbreak: Changes in diet and physical activity increase the risk of
cardiovascular disease, 2020). Therefore, new and advance technologies are effective in
providing suitable assistance in regards to the issue and the restricted areas where visiting of
people re prohibited due to the reason for increasing COVID cases. The digital advancement in
the situation can be presented with the help of the mobile applications like Arogya Setu which
are developed to tracing the locations where the cases are high. Therefore; the project initiates
the study about the lifestyle characteristics among the Melbourne residents during the home
quarantine process executed by the issue of COVID 19. In addition to this, due to lock down
process people are not able to went outside and sticking to a single place may rise the issue of
anxiety, anger and people are also facing the issue in nutritional habits as they are not able to
get healthy food as the economic condition of a country is also affected due to a break arises in
the jobs of people (Quarantine during COVID-19 outbreak: Changes in diet and physical
activity increase the risk of cardiovascular disease, 2020).

Melbourne residents during the home quarantine created through COVID 19, therefore, corona
virus is a major issue from which the entire world is affected and a suitable study is effective in

COVID 19 and the quarantine situation of people (Wiersinga and et. al., 2020). The other
reason for developing the project is the personal interest of the researcher as the investigator
creates value for own selves in the manner of enhancing idea about the issue of COVID 19 and
how it has wider impact over the life style of the people. An appropriate study over the aspect of
Corona virus and its effect over the lifestyle of the people. However, COVID 19 Is a highly

Literature Review
The literature review is defined as the most imperative aspect of the proposal as it provides
brief summary over the specific investigation area and helps in enhancing recognition about the
study. According to Lauren and Sauer, (2020) COVID 19 is defined as the disease which is
mainly caused through the new corona virus which was implemented in Wuhan, China in 2019.
Therefore, it is a family of viruses which can create illnesses likewise the common cold, severe
acute respiratory syndrome and middle East respiratory syndrome. The disease of COVID 19 is
caused through SARS-CoV-2 which can trigger what doctors call a respiratory tract infection, it
can also influence the upper respiratory tract or lower respiratory tract. As per the view’s
analysis of Healeem, Javaid, Vaishya, 2020, COVID 19 is a major issue which is mainly
influencing the day to day life and is slowing down the economic condition of globe (Megahed
and Ghoneim, 2020). Therefore, the pandemic has influenced immense number of people, who
are either sick or are being killed via the spread of corona virus. According to Stone (2020),
Metropolitan Melbourne and Mitchell Shire are beginning another six weeks of lockdown due to
