Background: Middle East Respiratory Syndrome a novel corona virus, Wuhan China have raised great public health concern globally. The virus is zoonotic which has a tendency to be transmitted between animal to human and human to human. The major route of transmission of COVID-19 is droplet and close contact. To date, no antiviral treatment or vaccine has been explicitly recommended for COVID-19. So, applying preventive measures to control COVID-19 infection is the most critical intervention. Therefore, the aim of this study was to asses practice of COVID-19 prevention and its associated factors.

Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted from May 10 to June 25, 2020. A total of 660 women in Debre Tabor Town were included. The study participants were selected using simple random sampling technique. The collected data were checked for completeness. The data were entered and cleaned using Epi-Data version 4.2 then exported to SPSS version 23 for analysis. Crude odd ratio and probability value were identified for each independent variable and independent variables with probability value of less than 0.2 were entered into multivariable logistic regression. Statistically significant associated factors were identified based on probability value (p-value) less than 0.05 and adjusted odd ratio with 95% confidence interval.

Results: The prevalence of prevention practice of COVID-19 was 493 (74.7%) with a mean age of 31.3 (SD ± 6.241) years. Women attend higher education (AOR=2.3, CI=1.05-5.02), Husband attend secondary education (AOR=1.52, CI=1.3-2.88), had radio or television (AOR=0.55, CI=0.32-0.97), knowledge (AOR=1.68, CI=1.46-5.46) and didn’t perceive COVID-19 is a result of ours sin (AOR=2.31, CI=1.76-4.95) are better practiced for preventive measures of COVID-19.

Conclusions: The prevalence of prevention practice of COVID-19 in the study area is low. Education, had radio or television, knowledge and perceived COVID-19 is a result of ours sin were significantly associated factors of prevention practice of COVID-19.
