Abstract:
: We conducted this survey in the province of Bas-Uélé, commune TEPATONDELE, Quartier BESOSE in the city of Buta, where the central market of Buta is located, on the knowledge, attitude and practice of vendors in the field of fight against covid-19. The methodological approach adopted is of the transversal type. The following techniques are used: data collection through survey sheets and the interview guide; direct observation. The study revealed that the level of knowledge, attitudes and practices of salespeople are low in the field of the fight against covid-19; so this low knowledge may influence the spread of covid-19 in this market, because the market is frequented by a lot of people. Several issues are mentioned. These problems are at several levels. The situation in Bas-Uélé during this phase of the pandemic was characterized by: the relaxation of the observance of barrier measures in the community, especially in high-risk environments, Weak application of standard measures in health facilities; non-operational entry and control points; the very low funding of control activities, the demotivation of actors; low awareness and engagement of communities on the risk of covid-19, misperceptions, rumours, misconceptions.
