Abstract

Novel Coronavirus spread rapidly across the globe was declared a public health emergency by the World Health Organization. The novelty and uncertainty of the virus make it critical for health authorities to prepare appropriate plans for the treatment as well as prevention of the infection. The present pandemic situation can be better controlled if students get engaged in actions to protect the community and their family health. A web-based cross-sectional survey was conducted among pharmacy students of various colleges in South India. Using Google forms, 30 questions were developed related to knowledge on COVID-19 and distributed among pharmacy students. Simple descriptive statistics were used to analyze the study results. A total of 1058 students participated in the survey. Out of 30 questions, an average score of correct answers given by all the students is 49.3 +/- 19.8%. The study findings demonstrate a gap between knowledge and information regarding the clinical aspects of COVID-19 among Pharmacy students.
