Abstract

The impact of Covid-19 has been felt across all facets of society since it was declared a global pandemic. Countries have been dealing with infections and deaths associated with SARS-CoV-2 as well as an information pandemic due to the avalanche of information associated with the crisis. Health literacy and digital health literacy have been at the center of the pandemic, and in the Ethiopian case, there is evidence of inadequate knowledge regarding Covid-19 control practices and prevention.
