Background:The use of masks is effective in reducing the incidence of covid-19 and can reduce the risk of transmission of Covid-19 disease through carriers or those who have not yet been diagnosed with symptoms. In some societies, however, it is common culture that only sick people wear masks. In addition to the mask, the World Health Organization has proposed two alcohol-based formulations for hand hygiene and reducing the prevalence and contamination of coronavirus in health care, but why do people not follow the health protocols regularly and seriously, despite having enough information about the conditions and dangers of this virus? Methods: The present study is a cross sectional descriptive-analytical study that was conducted in the fall of 1399 (October and November 2020) on community members in Tehran. This study is organized in the form of two main axes of personal information and individuals' attitudes towards adhering to health protocols against Covid-19.Results: According to the study, 78.3% of people use both masks and disinfectants, and only 6.4% believe that wearing a mask during the corona period is not necessary. In terms of gender segregation, women use masks more than men. Also, there is no exact relationship between the level of education and compliance with health protocols, so that people with a master's degree have the highest compliance with health protocols (88/88 = 100%) and people with a doctorate have the lowest (28/32 = 87%). About 18% of people do not use disinfectants that 26.31% (25/95=26.31%) of them believe that the use of disinfectants causes skin problems.
