Aims: This study aims to assess the level of knowledge, attitude and practices regarding post-covid care among people in India. Methods: A cross sectional descriptive study was conducted over a period of 3 months among 372 participants using convenient sampling through google forms. Results: Present study revealed that 99% had good knowledge and 1% have poor knowledge, 97% have favourable attitude and 3% have unfavourable attitude. In practice 99% have healthy practice and 1% have unhealthy practice after covid -19. The present study reveals that there was a significant positive correlation between knowledge and attitude and knowledge and practice (R=0.139, P=0.7). The Knowledge is directly affected by both attitude and practices towards post -covid care. Conclusion: Most of the people were having positive attitude and are unable to put in practice. But a positive attitude with knowledge changes the behaviour of the person and promotes healthy behaviour and prevents future complications. To increase and to update precautionary behaviour among the public, health officials and policy makers must provide knowledge and efficacy belief through mass communication programs/IEC. If any person wants, rehabilitation can be arranged for the people who are still suffering from the post covid care complications like follow-up treatments.
