The sudden outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic prompted educational institutions to close down worldwide. This unprecedented step led to a feeling of anxiety in the student community that encountered obstacles in shifting to an online education mode. Saudi Arabia also followed these steps to minimize the loss of life, but simultaneously, the administration also assured people that they had nothing to fear as the country was prepared to support them in every way. The current study was accordingly commissioned between April 21, 2020, and May 20, 2020, to assess the impact of the new developments on the anxiety of 119 students from the College of Medicine, University of Bisha, Saudi Arabia, using an adapted Generalized Anxiety Disorder Scale - 7 (GAD-7). The findings showed that 46.22% of respondents had minimal anxiety, 26.89% had mild anxiety, 12.60% had moderate anxiety, and 14.29% had severe anxiety. The findings indicate that Saudi University students had minimal anxiety issues concomitant to the pandemic. The results also significantly show that students' anxiety or its absence was a factor of gender and the students' current level of education in the university.

To assess the impact of the new developments on the anxiety.
An exploratory cross-sectional study was conducted between April 21, 2020, and May 20, 2020 at the College of Medicine, University of Bisha, Saudi Arabia.
The students were asked to complete a self-administered questionnaire form, using an adapted GAD-7.
The findings showed that 46.22% of respondents had minimal anxiety, 26.89% had mild anxiety, 12.60% had moderate anxiety, and 14.29% had severe anxiety. The findings indicate that Saudi University students had minimal anxiety issues concomitant to the pandemic.
2019年冠状病毒病（COVID-19）大流行的突然爆发促使全球教育机构关闭。这一史无前例的举措在学生群体中引发了焦虑情绪，他们在转向在线教育模式时遇到了障碍。沙特阿拉伯也采取了这些措施以尽量减少生命损失，但与此同时，政府也向人们保证，他们无需恐惧，因为国家已做好准备全方位支持他们。因此，本研究于2020年4月21日至2020年5月20日开展，旨在使用修订后的广泛性焦虑障碍量表-7（GAD-7）评估这些新情况对沙特阿拉伯比沙大学医学院119名学生焦虑状况的影响。研究结果显示，46.22%的受访者焦虑程度最低，26.89%有轻度焦虑，12.60%有中度焦虑，14.29%有重度焦虑。研究结果表明，沙特大学生在疫情期间焦虑问题最少。结果还显著表明，学生的焦虑与否是性别以及学生当前大学教育水平的一个因素。
