Coronavirus cases have been on the rise, not only in cities but also in rural areas. However, the level of awareness is higher in urban populations compared to rural ones. People in the countryside don’t take Covid-19 symptoms seriously. They also do not follow health guidelines properly. Although they sometimes wear masks, many of them do not know how to use them properly. It is important to raise awareness in rural areas in order to curb the pandemic.
