As there wasn't adequate medical readiness, individuals catching the disease and losing their lifestyle will prolong. Goverments are focusing on the importance of preventative precautions from the beginning.  This study aims to present an overview of Turkey regarding the importance of masks in daily life as a prioritized precaution in fighting against the outbreak such as distancing and hygiene. Survey was used as a quantitative method. A 12-question survey, out of 4 were personal information questions, was conducted using Survey Monkey between July 1 and September 1, 2020. Asuitable sampling method was used considering the logic behind online mediums and the circumstances shaped by the pandemic. 1697 individuals using social media such as WhatsApp, Instagram and Facebook participated in the study. 35 participants were left out as they did not comply with the requested format. The sample of the study was determined as 1662 individuals.  Based on the collected data, behaviors and opinions of predominantly young urban college graduates/students regarding use of masks were analyzed, and extent of the involvement of masks within the daily habits was presented.
