Disease moved from country to country, continent to continent without passport and geographical restrictions because health and disease have no political or geographical boundaries (Awan, 2013). Similarly, Covid-19 is first seen in China and later spread across the whole world (WHO, 2020) without any obligations and restrictions. No one thinks that the whole system of civilization will be changed due to the pandemic. For instance, social interaction is a common nature of human being and is part of the community. However, lockdowns, long isolation and social distancing were introduced instead of social interaction. The move to protect the people from Covid-19 led to government actions on lockdowns which has caused emotional and psychological problems such as depression, fear, anxiety, frustration, tension (Kant, 2020) and other social problems.
The COVID-19 as a global issue not only hampers the health system of any country but rather gave birth to multitude of social issues that urgently needs to be addressed. However, people have misconceptions of harmful behaviors and social problems. In theoretical perspective, the COVID-19 related harmful behaviors that have subjective and objective elements are the social problems. There are different approaches used to evaluate the society which are the focus of this study. As such, this study aims to identify the various social problems associated with the COVID-19 pandemic and evaluate the related theoretical perspective of the social problem.
