The World Health Organization declared COVID19 as a pandemic on 11th March 2020.The number of cases and mortality associated with it is increasing day by day. Various measures have been deployed by the competent authorities in order to optimally educate healthcare workers.
Along with assessment of the prevailing knowledge among healthcare workers to identify critical gaps that need to be addressed, my study also aimed to gather insight into the resources used and efforts made by healthcare workers to keep up with the latest developments taking place related to the pandemic.
