BACKGROUND: Coronavirus disease (COVID-19) is a deadly disease that is affecting
most of the countries worldwide. Public understanding, including knowledge about
signs and symptoms, mode of transmission, and hygiene of COVID-19, is vital for
designing effective control strategies during a public health crisis. The current
study is aimed at investigating the public's perspective about COVID-19,
including their knowledge, attitude, and practices. METHODS: A rapid online
survey comprising 22 items was administered during the rapid outbreak of COVID-19
in Pakistan. Questions were focused on the prevention, transmission, clinical
features, and control of COVID-19. In addition, the attitudes and practices of
the participants were explored. Descriptive statistics, Mann-Whitney tests,
Kruskal-Wallis tests, and regression analysis were carried out during data
analysis. RESULTS: A total of 1257 respondents participated in this study. Most
of the respondents had good knowledge (good = 64.8%, average = 30.5%, poor =
4.7%) of COVID-19. Gender, marital status, education, and residence were observed
to have a significant association with the knowledge score. A vast majority of
the survey respondents (77.0%) believed that COVID-19 would be controlled
successfully in Pakistan. The practices of wearing a mask (85.8%) and handwashing
(88.1%) were common among the participants. CONCLUSION: The participants
demonstrated good knowledge and reasonable attitudes and practices toward most
aspects of the COVID-19 outbreak. Improvements in certain areas could be made by
mass-level education.
