| Abstract: | The Corona virus (COVID-19) is a novel virus which can infect animals as well as humans, can cause series of respiratory illnesses from the common cold to lung lesions, pneumonia and can possibly lead to death. World Health Organization (WHO), labeled it a pandemic as it seems to spread very easily from person to person, especially in homes, hospitals and confined places. Worldwide more than 800, 000 cases are reported in 200 countries of the world causing more than 38000 deaths. The main purpose of this study was to assess awareness of rural people in Kashmir towards symptoms, causes and prevention of Corona virus. In this study 400 respondents from different district of Kashmir valley were selected for this study during January 2020 to March 2020. A well-designed validated questionnaire was used to collect the information from the respondents. The data collected from our survey was analyzed using standard statistical tools with the help of statistical software IBM SPSS (version 25). The study revealed that people understudy in majority were not aware of the symptoms, causes and preventions of Corona, a deadly disease. The people understudy were of the opinion that rate of transmission of COVID-19 depends on various factors such as age, sex, climatic condition. The key factor to reduce the spread of COVID-19 is curtailment of social contact. The Corona virus besides health problems, may result in loss of livelihood, domestic violence, mental health issues, religious issues and loneliness like in other disasters. It was suggested that every individual should follow his/her religion and support advisory of health ministry to protect himself/herself from this deadly disease. In the present lockdown the print and electronic media can play a crucial role in increasing awareness among rural people of Kashmir regarding Corona virus spread and its prevention. |
