A new coronavirus was discovered in China that causes serious respiratory diseases. Nurses play an important role in handling patients with COVID-19. This study aims to assess the level of knowledge, attitude, and practice towards handling COVID-19 among nurses. A descriptive cross-sectional study was done, with questionnaires on nurses' knowledge, attitude, and practice regarding handling COVID-19. The majority of nurses (99.2%) have good knowledge, while 39.0% had a positive attitude, and 65.9% of nurses had good practice in handling patients with COVID-19. There is a significant relationship with weak correlation between attitude and practice (p= 0.024, r= 0.204). Keywords: Knowledge, attitude, practice, COVID-19. eISSN: 2398-4287 © 2022. The Authors.
