Conclusion and Recommendation
In conclusion, COVID-19 outbreak can be avoided by adopting certain precautions that include frequent hand washing with soap and water for at 40 minutes, avoiding unnecessary going outside homes, beside wearing masks in public places. The current study shows that the undergraduate students in different colleges at Najran University have adequate knowledge and awareness about the different aspects of COVID-19 in terms of recognizing its symptoms, beside the recommended preventive precautions that should be taken seriously. Although, the students showed adequate knowledge with an overall percentage of 72.51% correct answers, but more emphasis should be put on updating their knowledge regarding the upcoming events about COVID-19 periodically for controlling the spreading of the disease.
Moreover, raising the level of awareness and knowledge about this pandemic will help not only the university students, but also can encourage the suspected and those at risk individuals to seek medical help as early as possible and thus to be treated properly and timely.
