AbstractBackgroundThe COVID-19 pandemic is associated with high morbidity and mortality. In Ghana, policy interventions have been implemented by the Government to combat the pandemic. However, the knowledge and perceptions of Senior High School students are not investigated on the COVID-19 symptoms, transmission and the government policy measures.ObjectivesThe present study surveyed senior high school students to assess their knowledge and perceptions of COVID-19 and the government policy measures to address the outbreak.MethodsThe study employed a descriptive cross-sectional study design to assess the knowledge and perceptions of senior high school students on the COVID-19 pandemic and the measures put in place to address it. 624 senior high school students aged 18 years old and above were surveyed. Descriptive analysis was performed to assess knowledge and perceptions of COVID-19 symptoms, mode of transmissions and prevention.FindingsMost students were knowledgeable about COVID-19 symptoms, transmission and preventive measures. Majority of the students obtained information about COVID-19 from television, radio, social media, and from family and friends. Overall, the students also demonstrated a positive perception towards COVID-19 mode of transmission and preventive measures.ConclusionsOverall, senior high school students in the Bawku Municipality in Ghana demonstrated an appreciable level of knowledge and positive perception of COVID-19. Students cited television, radio, peer education and social media as their information sources for COVID-19. These media outlets should be prioritized in disseminating COVID 19 information to the public, especially students.
