Participants' mitigation status to fight covid-19 was promising. Handwashing with soap and water, disinfecting surfaces, and covering mouth or nose while coughing were mitigated practices by the vast majority. Home staying was the least mitigated practice. Participants' demographic status, knowledge of the epidemic symptoms, and knowledge of preventive measures were potent predictors of mitigations to fight covid-19. HID services should be extended to the rural population through HCWs and task forces.
