Study Design: Cross-sectional study. Place and Duration of Study: Gynaecology department of Pak Emirates Military Hospital, Rawalpindi, from Mar to Jun 2020. Methodology: The data obtained from a questionnaire filled by a total of 205 female participants with mean age of 31.84 ± 8.52 years, visiting the Gynaecology outdoor patient department was used. The data was analyzed and descriptive analysis was made in percentages. Results: Electronic media (TV/Radio) was the main source of information about COVID-19 for 170 (83%) of the participants. Most of the participants identified that the main symptoms of COVID were flu 115 (56%), cough 104 (51%) and fever 109 (53%). About the protective and hygienic measures, 125 (61%) chose hand washing for twenty seconds while 116 (57%) of the participants chose wearing masks and 87 (42%) opted for maintaining the distance from an infected individual. One hundred (49%) of the total participants believed that the transmission of the virus to infants takes place via breast milk of nursing females while 147 (72%) of the females responded negatively for the breastfeeding to be responsible for the transmission of the virus. One hundred and thirty females (73%) believed that this disease was completely curable while 55 (27%) of females responded that a complete cure was not possible. Conclusion: Most of the females have generally satisfactory information about the signs and symptoms of the novel virus and the commonly employed precautions against the disease.Nabila AminMuhammad Ayhan AmirSuha AmirArmy Medical College Rawalpindiarticlecovid-19precautionsperceptionquestionnaireMedicineRMedicine (General)R5-920ENPakistan Armed Forces Medical Journal, Vol 70, Iss 2, Pp 484-488 (2020)
