Therefore, the aim of this study was to assess community perception toward quarantine for COVID-19 and associated factors among adult residents of selected towns in Southwest Ethiopia, 2020. After controlling possible confounding variables in multiple linear regression, having training on COVID-19, educational status, occupation, knowledge of COVID-19, and knowledge of quarantine were significantly associated with perception toward quarantine. According to this study, having training on COVID-19 was positively associated with perception toward quarantine. The finding from this study also revealed that knowledge of COVID-19 was associated with more positive perception of quarantine. ./cache/cord-293186-yxpkqbey.txt ./txt/cord-293186-yxpkqbey.txt
