Stigma against Covid-19 Affected Among Psus/ Government Employees During the Pandemic

The COVID-19 pandemic began in the Chinese city of Wuhan, Hubei Province, and swiftly spread to other countries, killing 14.2 million people. Because the virus is new, nothing is known about it, leading in numerous undesirable behaviours such as prejudice towards persons infected. In the context of health, stigma is the unfavourable connection that exists between a person or group of individuals who share particular qualities and a certain condition. The purpose of this study is to obtain a better understanding of the stigma associated with COVID-19 and to assess the level of stigma associated with COVID-19 among PSU/government employees in Assam; therefore, during the COVID-19 epidemic in August and September of 2020, this survey was carried out among PSU and government employees in Assam. The employees displayed stigma, yet the respondents were determined to be informed of COVID-19. Stigma in the workplace may be reduced by organisational support, ardent advocacy for mental health, and ensuring that the right information is communicated.
