- Abstract
The global impact of COVID-19 pandemic cannot be quantified due to the erratic spread of the virus worldwide. One area of concern that has not been highlighted is the effect of COVID-19 on international students and their families. Majority of these students are found in the developed world, contributing substantially to the economic growth of their host nations, but they have been excluded from various financial packages rolled-out by these host governments. Health challenges awaiting these students could be dire if nothing is done to ameliorate the hardships under the current circumstances. Future research should look at the psycho-socio-economic impacts of COVID-19 among international students.
