Abstract

All countries and regions have already been infected with the novel coronavirus disease (COVID-19). This super small guest has paralyzed the entire world’s economy, from the drastic fall of oil prices to the bankruptcy of great companies or even the small retail shops. The people’s lifestyle is undergoing significant changes, which is leaving a negative impact on their psychological and physical health. The atmosphere is filled with dual accusations from each one of the governments and their citizens. Recognizing cognitive biases that have potentially affected decision-making during the COVID-19 pandemic would help consider behavioral changes for curbing this global viral infection. © Mattioli 1885.
