description The novel coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) infection has rapidly grown worldwide,(1) and many governments have implemented policies to control the infection rate. For example, school suspension, self-quarantine, requirement of citizens to stay at home,(2) travel and border controls, and discouragement of outdoor activities(3) have been used. Although these actions emphasizing the importance of “spatial distancing” are based on the perspective of public health, they may result in health problems other than COVID-19 infection, such as psychological distress and fear.(4) Therefore, the present authors examined the potential predictors for psychological distress among schoolchildren during COVID-19 school suspension.
