METHODS: A descriptive cross-sectional study design using a multi-stage sampling technique was used to recruit 360 respondents (Mean age: 33.2 ± 10.6 years; 62.5% females) from households in Ibadan. An assessment of the perception and practices of community members is important to reduce the risk for COVID-19 infection in Ibadan, a densely populated city in Nigeria. This study thus aimed at assessing the perception and practices of community members in urban areas in Ibadan regarding COVID-19. Findings from previous studies conducted in Nigeria also corroborate the key role of positive risk perception on imbibing COVID-19 protective practices and attitudes . As this study was limited to the perception and practices regarding COVID-19, the knowledge of community members on the illness was not addressed.	./cache/cord-287640-9j0w7191.txt	./txt/cord-287640-9j0w7191.txt
