Occupation and educational status were found to have significant strong association with level of knowledge. Occupation, educational status, monthly income and family size were found to have significant strong association with level of attitude. Marital status, educational status and family size were found to have significant strong association with level of practice toward Covid-19 recommended prevention measures.
