The term pandemic is a great word which refers to pan-all demos-people which means prevalence of the disease over a country, whole world.It also involves a massive public reaction, which leads to high anxiety, depression and other mental stress.Awareness among public is a very important criteria to be considered during these outbreaks. The study includes a sample size of 200 subjects involving 100 males and 100 females from the general public. A questionnaire based survey was conducted through an online portal (survey planet ) and the data was collected and analysed descriptively. The data collected was analysed descriptively, and it was found that 90% of male population and 80% of female population have a keen knowledge on pandemic spread as same as 90% of people experience mood swings and depression during the period of pandemic spread, which was similar to a study conducted among American population which shows high percentage of knowledge and awareness among pandemic spread. Our findings prove that both male and female population are equally aware about the pandemic spread, also they have taken precautions to prevent the spread of the disease.
