Among other countries, The Indonesian government has taken precaution policies, namely “lockdown,” “large-scale-social-restriction,” and “stay-at-home” period. A stay-at-home plan means that people are prevented from going outside their home and should stay-at-home for a specific period, as announced by the government. News disclosed that people start feeling tension and stress because of the prevention, precisely because people cannot do the everyday work and leisure routines outside their home. It is believed that the stay-at-home condition has causing unhappiness to the community. On the other hand, opinion grows that the critical state of stay-at-home is inevitable. People have to learn to cope with the new uncertain situation and need to embrace it deep down into their life.

In conclusion, this research indicates that most people are still happy, try to stay happy, and feel less comfortable during their stay-at-home period.
