Background and purpose The magnitude of the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic on the healthcare system, economy, education, and social networking is dreadful, the least to say. Surprisingly, and unlike previous epidemics, the impact has been universal, and even top-ranking countries with solid economies were not immune. The purpose of this study is to develop a better understanding of the Saudi community's response and reaction to the preventative measures implemented by the government to combat the COVID-19 pandemic. Methodology A cross-sectional study using a self-administered online-based questionnaire was conducted among 920 participants from March 2020 to February 2021 among the Saudi community across the Kingdom. Results Among the studied participants, the majority (60%) are always committed to washing their hands according to the Ministry of Health (MoH) instructions, and 74% indicated that they were always compliant with the sneezing etiquette outlined by the MoH. Studied participants were affected through different influencers of life aspects. Moreover, 63% of them gained new skills and behaviors during the pandemic curfew. Additionally, many studied participants assumed that "life will not return to what it used to be" as a future perception. Conclusion In conclusion, the present findings proved the importance and power of the Saudi Vision (2030) represented by the National Transformation Program on enhancing the healthcare system, facilitating access to healthcare, and integrating technology among government parties addressed during the COVID-19 pandemic.
