Background: COVID-19 which was first reported in Wuhan China is now a global pandemic. Healthcare workers play a significant role in fighting this pandemic. The aim of this study is to assess the knowledge, attitude and practice (KAP) of COVID-19 among healthcare professionals in Jos. Methodology: The study population are all the health workers in Bingham University Teaching Hospital (BHUTH), Plateau State Specialist Hospital (PSSH) and ECWA comprehensive health care center (ECHC) in Jos who consented to the study. Consecutive sampling was employed in selecting eligible workers who consented to the study. Data generated was subjected to descriptive and inferential statistics as appropriate. Results: There were 446 HCWs, in comparing the overall mean knowledge score regarding COVID-19 between the different cadre of clinical HCWs, the difference was significant (F= 5.23, p= 0.002). The overall mean knowledge score between the different cadre of non-clinical HCW was not statistically significant (F= 1.38, p= 0.26). There was no significant difference between the mean scores of KAP of the doctors in the different hospitals in Plateau State (F= 0.46, p= 0.63; F= 0.34, p= 0.71; F=0.41, p= 0.66) respectively. The result showed a significant association between job cadre with KAP. Conclusion: The KAP of the HCW was good, however, there was a significant difference between the knowledge scores of the different cadre of clinical HCW in Plateau State. There was also a significant association between the different job cadre with KAP of the HCW.
Objective: To assesses knowledge, attitudes, and practice on COVID-19 amongst medical HCW in Plateau State Specialist Hospital (PSSH) Jos.Methodology: The study population consisted of all medical health care workers in Plateau State Specialist Hospital (PSSH) who consented to the study.

The knowledge, attitude and practice of COVID-19 amongst HCW was assessed using a pretested questionnaire which was analyzed using SPSS version 22.Results: The nurses had the highest percentage of 58%, followed by doctors with 31%. The major source of information was television with 68%, followed by google with 9%. The knowledge of the medical HCW in PSSH was good with over 80% of the number ofquestions on knowledge answered correctly with the mark over 70%. Their attitude was fair with 62% of the number of questions gotten correctly with a score of over 70%. Similarly, their practice was also fair with 66% of the questions gotten correctly with over 70%. However, one of the questions on practice was poor with only 45% of the workers answering it correctly. Therewas a significant association between the attitude and the Job cadre of medical HCW of PSSH.Conclusion: The knowledge of medical HCW in PSSH on COVID-19 was good. Their attitude and practice were fair. There was a significant association between their knowledge and job cadre. The study showed that there is an attitude and practice gap
