Introduction
CoVid-19 is a pandemic that affects the life of each and every one of us
living on this precious world in. It affected the many lifestyles, mostly those
people who had work, students whom had to learn or attend school and those
people who needed to apply for work. The researchers chose this topic in relation

The researchers chose to study this subject more because of the still impending

the students.

Based on the findings of the study, it was concluded that the main lifestyle

examinations.
Moreover, it was also concluded that the students’ lifestyle was affected by
