Participants were assessed using a semi-structured questionnaire and details like socio-demographic profile, anxiety, depressive symptoms, suicidal ideas, sleep disturbances, and stress levels were collected. In the study sample, 216(13.5%) reported anxiety symptoms, 64 (4%) depressive symptoms, 30 (1.9%) suicidal ideations, and 71(4.4%) sleep disturbances. This is the first experiential account report from India aimed at understanding the mental health concerns of quarantined air passengers. A sizeable proportion (13.5%) of the quarantined individuals reported symptoms of anxiety which is similar to the findings of another study conducted in North Spain(Ozamiz-Etxebarria and Dosil-Santamaria, 2020). The prevalence of depressive symptoms was 4% which is low when compared to other studies(Ozamiz-Etxebarria and Dosil-Santamaria, 2020, Lei et al., 2020) . ./cache/cord-256212-ominfc0a.txt ./txt/cord-256212-ominfc0a.txt
