Abstract in brief

The study investigated whether concerns about COVID-19 affect young adults’ ability to maintain sustained attention during tasks.

The results suggest that young adults can generally keep COVID-19 worries in check, allowing them to focus on tasks without their concerns impairing their sustained attention.]
