The outbreak of COVID-19 since December 2019 is still raging and also changes the ways of peoples’ life and work. The quarantine-related policies have reduced the contact among individuals, which caused a sense of anxiety. Meanwhile, the happiness index of some people may improve, such as for the individuals who are reluctant to communicate and spend too much time in commuting. In general, the impact of COVID on different groups can be divided into two categories. One is mainly about the impact on people's active choices, for example, wearing masks, choosing a healthier lifestyle, paying attention to the harmonious coexistence between people and the environment, reducing the impact of lifestyles such as transportation and travel, and the impact of changing working ways such as working from home, etc. on industry development, corporate performance and financial markets, etc. Another category is associated with the impact of passive adaptation to environmental changes on individual psychological status. For example, the remote psychological consultation, distance education, remote conference, and contactless delivery would also influence people’s well-being, sense of trust, communication ability and career choice etc. Therefore, the impact of COVID19 on individuals of different countries, income groups and industries will be heterogeneous.
