The received answers were put into the form.Results: Of the participants, 56.02% were women, 84.87% lived in the city, 94.11% were single, and 2.24% had a chronic disease. BMI of 91.59% is in the range of 18-25. 33.05% still use masks, 35.57% now sleep early, 50.14% take a walk every day, 70.31% pay attention to regular water consumption. Conclusion:With the information obtained from the results of the study, the necessity of ventilation of the living environment and the power of mask and hand hygiene in preventing contamination became more understandable by people.
