While mental health became a major concern during the COVID-19 outbreak, the impact on the migrants\u2019 mental health has still been neglected. The purpose of this study was to examine the COVID-19 outbreak's impact on the mental health of immigrants in South Korea.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>A total number of 386 immigrants in South Korea participated in this quantitative cross-sectional study. The standardized e-questionnaire, including the General Anxiety Disorder (GAD-7) scale, was used to measure the anxiety level. Logistic regression analysis was performed to find out the determinants of anxiety disorders among immigrants.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The prevalence of severe anxiety among immigrants was found to be 47.2%. Female immigrants (28.6%) had a lower anxiety disorder than males (71.4%). Immigrants who were married, living alone, had a low income, had a history of health problems were suffered from moderate to severe anxiety. Immigrants who were unemployed (OR 2.302, 95% CI\u2009=\u20091.353\u20133.917) and lost their jobs due to the COVID-19 outbreak (OR 2.197, 95% CI\u2009=\u20091.312\u20133.678) have a higher anxiety disorder. Immigrants aged over 30\u2009years were found to suffer from a high level of anxiety (OR 2.285, 95% CI\u2009=\u20091.184\u20134.410). Relief support from the government was significantly associated with anxiety disorder among immigrants (p\u2009&lt;\u20090.01, OR\u2009=\u20093.151, 95% CI\u2009=\u20091.962\u20135.061).<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>With very limited studies on immigrants\u2019 mental health during the COVID-19 pandemic, this paper provides scientific research evidence of the COVID-19 outbreak's impact on the mental health of migrants.
