Background : protection of health care workers and prevention of intra-hospital transmission of infection are important aspects in COVID-19 epidemic response, and this requires that they must have updated knowledge regarding the source, transmission, symptoms, and preventive measures.
lack of knowledge and misunderstandings leads to delayed diagnosis, spread of dis-ease, and poor infection control practice.
objective : to identify the status of knowledge, attitude, and practice regarding COVID-19 among physicians in Egypt.
subjects and methods : a descriptive cross-sectional survey-based study was carried out on 160 physicians who participated in the study which was conducted in may and June 2020.

Results : participants have good knowledge (98.8%), a positive at-attitude means 9.76 ±1.70, and good practice (77.5%).
physicians working in clinical departments had greater knowledge than physicians working in academic departments (p = 0.003) also physicians with work experience ≥ 5 years have greater knowledge (p = 0.002).
88.75% of physicians perceived that limited infection control material and 84.37% of them perceived that lack of policy and procedures of infection control practice were the major barriers to infection control.
