Young people are more likely to be involved in COVID-19-related health risks. In reducing the spread of the disease, their adherence to infection control measures is crucial. The goal of this research was to explore COVID-19's awareness, attitudes, and behaviours and its experiences with Indian youth. Most adolescents confirmed that their primary source of guidance on COVID-19 was television and social media, although few reported receiving that guidance from their schools. To prevent the spread of COVID-19, many recorded practicing efficient health care practices, largely predicted by their knowledge and understanding of these situation. Anti-trafficking methods are widely used, including closing schools and colleges, staying at home, working and studying at home, stopping public transportation, eliminating all social gatherings, using public facilities, wearing face masks and strict hand washing and hygiene practices. The awareness and attitudes of people should be focused on strong practices to prevent the virus from spreading. The purpose of the current research was to validate the knowledge, practice and attitudes of medical and non-medical college students at universities. Some assume that hand washing is important to avoid infection, while others think that infection can be avoided by wearing a mask.
