这项研究的主要目的是评估公众在COVID-19（2019冠状病毒病）大流行期间对口罩使用的知识、态度和做法。在这项在线调查中，根据世界卫生组织关于口罩使用及其使用方法的建议设计了一份问卷，对426名巴基斯坦受访者进行了调查。只有三分之一（33.1%）的受访者对口罩的使用有足够的认识，超过三分之二（71.1%）的受访者对口罩持积极态度，只有不到一半（43.0%）的受访者对口罩和预防措施有良好的做法。应对冠状病毒的威胁需要管理机构的大量投入。
The main aim of this study was to evaluate the knowledge, attitudes, and practices of the public regarding mask use during the COVID-19 (coronavirus disease 2019) pandemic. In this online survey, a questionnaire designed according to the World Health Organization's recommendations for mask use and its method of use was administered to 426 Pakistani respondents. Only one third (33.1%) had adequate knowledge of mask use, more than two thirds (71.1%) had positive attitude to masks, and only less than half (43.0%) respondents had good practices regarding masks and preventive measures. Massive input from the governing bodies is needed to combat the threat of coronavirus.
