Conclusion
Overall, there is a high level of knowledge and a medium level of
attitude and practice toward Covid-19 recommended prevention measures.
Being a housewife, unable to read and write, and having a primary
education were found to be significantly associated with a good level of
knowledge toward Covid-19 prevention measures. People unable to read and
write, being civil servants, and having < 5000 ETB monthly
income, were found to have a positive association with attitude towards
the recommended Covid-19 prevention measures, and having < 5
family members was negatively associated with the attitude toward
Covid-19 prevention measures. Marital status, level of education,
monthly income and family size were found to be significantly associated
with practice toward Covid-19 recommended prevention measures.
Repeated tailored information using different medias should be provided
to the community regarding Covid-19 prevention methos. Existing Covid-19
prevention efforts should be strengthened and evaluated to improve
community preventive practices.
