Abstract
Background
Considering its pandemicity and absence of effective treatment, authorities across the globe
have designed various mitigation strategies to combat the spread of COVID-19. Although
adherence towards preventive measures is the only means to tackle the virus, reluctance
to do so has been reported to be a major problem everywhere. Thus, this study aimed to
assess the community’s adherence towards COVID-19 mitigation strategies and its associated factors among Gondar City residents, Northwest Ethiopia.
Methods
A community-based cross-sectional study was employed among 635 respondents from
April 20–27, 2020. Cluster sampling technique was used to select the study participants
