Abstract

The goal of this study is to comprehend the information-seeking behaviours of COVID19 patients who were self-isolating or self-quarantine. This study used a qualitative approach where data were collected using interview technique. The findings imply that COVID19 survivors favour information accessed from official government sources. The COVID19 symptoms, as well as the health protocols and precautions to follow during self-isolation, were fully understood by the survivors. The study also showed that participants double-checked their information using various platforms. The study emphasizes how crucial it is for the relevant authorities to provide thorough and accurate information on how to handle COVID19.
