CONCLUSION: Pakistani university students and employees have good knowledge and attitudes regarding COVID-19, but unsatisfactory preventive practices. As there is no vaccine or approved cure for COVID-19, it is of immense importance that the public have good knowledge about the individual measures (physical distancing, proper hand hygiene, use of a face mask and respiratory etiquette) that will serve as the first line of defense against this disease. Therefore, the present study was conducted to evaluate knowledge, attitudes and preventive practices of COVID-19 among Pakistani university students and employees. Pakistani university students and employees have satisfactory knowledge and attitudes to COVID-19, however their preventive practices related to the disease are inadequate. ./cache/cord-325988-of3exw6a.txt ./txt/cord-325988-of3exw6a.txt
