A self‑designed<br />questionnaire was filled by the participants online (Google Form). The knowledge of the participants<br />was assessed using 12 questions. Attitude and practices of the participants were assessed by two<br />questions for each.<br />RESULTS: Among the study completers, 52.20% were male, 71.42% of the participants were aged<br />above 30 years, and 59.22% were nurse. The knowledge score was approximately 90%. The majority<br />of the participants had a strong conviction that India can overcome this infectious disease in the near<br />future.
