To stop the pandemic and to treat the infected patients in order to reduce the death toll and to prevent its recurrence are very important issues requiring urgent research. However, attention has been focused on the treating part which is considered a reactive approach. Preventive measures are considered proactive and effective approaches to reduce infections. It is considered that the chances of a recurrence of the pandemic have not been given sufficient attention. Health consciousness of the people is one of the most important factors contributing to this situation.
