ABSTRACT
Covid-19 is an emerging respiratory infection and pandemic disease that caused by a virus called the Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) and the WHO rename as Covid-19. The government of Malaysia implemented Movement Control Order (MCO) to control the spreading of the disease. The citizens play an important role to curb Covid-19 by giving cooperation and compliant to Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) implemented by the government. Therefore, this study is to determine the knowledge, attitude and practices towards Covid-19 among UOC (University of Cyberjaya) MBBS students during the rapid rise period during the Covid-19 outbreak. A cross sectional study was conducted. The respondents that took part in this study were medical students from University of Cyberjaya. Our result shows that 143 out of 150 participants (95.3%) had good knowledge. 3 questions were asked to evaluate attitude towards COVID-19. For the first question, 58% of the participants had positive attitude, second question 83.3% and third question 33.3% executively. In terms of practice, 79.3% of the participants reported they avoided crowded places in the week before MCO was implemented, 76.7% of them wear face masks when they leave home and 88.0% practiced proper hand hygiene. Lastly, our findings confirmed that there is no significant association between sociodemographic factors and knowledge. Copyright © 2022, Anka Publishers. All rights reserved.
