Abstract

On January 30, 2020, the World Health Organization publicized the Pandemic outbreak, and it received
emergency status worldwide. As of February 14, 2020, there were globally 49,053 laboratory-confirmed cases
and 1,381 deaths. Corona Virus creates anomalous challenges for the world in all spheres of society. This
uncertainty led us to think about providing quality life, health, and well-being to all individuals equally. In such
crucial times, people tried to cope with pandemic outbreaks by using different CAM strategies. This paper aims
to probe such CAM strategies that COVID-19 survivors across Punjab commonly use. For this purpose, a
qualitative case study design is used to investigate various coping strategies among survivors. Furthermore, by
using the non-probability sampling technique, the researcher conducts interviews and analyzes its results
qualitatively.
