The research was conducted to investigate the correlation between C-19 dread, mental wellbeing, and work anxiety among medical staffs during the COVID-19 pandemic, and to assess the predictive impact of C-19 dread and work anxiety on mental wellbeing. This cross-sectional research was carried out at various hospitals in Punjab, Pakistan, from September to December 2020. Purposive sampling was employed to select a sample of 161 individuals working in health departments and hospitals in Punjab, Pakistan. A questionnaire on mental wellbeing, C-19 dread, and work anxiety was administered using Google doc, and individuals were approached in person, via Email, Facebook, and WhatsApp. This study's findings show that among medical professionals, C-19 dread is significantly correlated with workplace stress. The study also showed relationship between C-19 dread and good mental wellbeing at work.
