Abstract

Using data from Kiryandongo General Hospital, this study examines patient knowledge, attitudes, and behaviours related
to Coronavirus disease 2019. To effectively implement public health interventions throughout the worldwide pandemic, it
is imperative to comprehend people's awareness, attitudes, and behaviours around Coronavirus disease 2019. A systematic
questionnaire was used to perform a cross-sectional survey among patients at Kiryandongo General Hospital in order to
gauge their understanding of Coronavirus disease 2019, how serious it is seen to be, how it spreads, and what safety
precautions they have taken. The results provide insights into patients' awareness levels, perspectives on the epidemic, and
the degree to which suggested preventive actions are being took. In order to improve Coronavirus disease 2019 prevention
and control activities within the population that Kiryandongo General Hospital serves, the data will help shape focused
health education initiatives and interventions
