In 2020, a novel corona virus declared as pandemic by World Health Organization (WHO). The severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS-Cov-2) is an emerging infection caused by widely spread pandemic corona virus disease 2019 (Covid-19). This severe novel corona virus was first reported in Wuhan city of China. On that time covid-19 pandemic is prompting fear of falling illness, dying, helplessness and stigma. Urgent and timely understand the mental health status is needed to help the community. This review is based on the articles and general population of Kingdome of Saudi Arabia to assess the degree of psychological impact during the pandemic. I have studied several research articles to understand the impact of covid-19 pandemic on Saudi’s people and understand the mental health of Saudi’s people during the Covid-19 pandemic. During the early stage of the outbreak, we collected data about several aspects of participant sociodemographic, knowledge, concerns, psychological impact, and mental health status. We assessed the psychological impact and mental health status using the Impact of Event Scale-Revised (IES-R), and the Depression, Anxiety, and Stress Scale (DASS-21). All through the beginning phase of the Coronavirus flare-up in Saudi Arabia, the outcomes showed that almost one-fourth of the tested overall public experienced moderate to extreme mental effect. Following explicit prudent steps seemed to defensively affect the person's psychological well-being. Our discoveries can be utilized to build mental mediations coordinated toward weak populaces and to carry out open emotional wellness methodologies in the beginning phases of the episode.
