Popis:	With the outbreak of Novel Coronavirus disease (COVID-19), researchers set out to explore different behavioral patterns. It is natural for researchers to seek the differences in relation to different demographic variables. Research from previous disease outbreaks shows the importance of demographic variables. This research study aims to explore the differences with regard to different demographic variables regarding the knowledge of COVID-19. It was found that the demographic variables; gender, marital status and education level showed no statistical significance but the demographic variables; age group and profession showed statistical significance. Another important finding was that 73% respondents had scored 3-4 on scale of 5 assessing COVID-19 knowledge. Moreover, 51% respondents considered themselves affected psychologically by COVID-19 pandemic.
