Both bi- and multi-variable logistic regressions were fitted to identify variables significantly associated with the outcome variables. Adjusted odds ratios with 95% confidence interval and p-value < 0.05 were used to determine significant factors.Results:About 92.4%, 64%, and 55% of the respondents had good knowledge, favorable attitude, and good practices toward corona virus disease, respectively. Being female (adjusted odds ratio = 0.23, confidence interval: 0.10, 0.56), age ⩾ 35 years (adjusted odds ratio = 0.14, confidence interval: 0.22, 0.84), being unmarried (adjusted odds ratio = 0.20, confidence interval: 0.70, 0.59), getting information from radio and television (adjusted odds ratio = 6.02, confidence interval: 2.09, 17.36), having average monthly income 93.55–163.67 USD (adjusted odds ratio = 8.00, confidence interval: 0.94, 33.10), and average monthly income > 163.70 USD (adjusted odds ratio = 11.41, confidence interval: 1.41, 15.23) were significantly associated with good knowledge about COVID-19.
