The Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome-CoronaVirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2) pandemic has transformed our appreciation of healthcare awareness worldwide. The amount of related data accumulated during this time has surpassed any other outbreak of a viral pathogen. Healthcare awareness is related to one of the nine pillars of the "World health organization (WHO) operational planning guidelines to support country preparedness and response". This review is structured around the awareness/knowledge, attitudes, and practices (KAP)-related publications in Saudi Arabia up to date to understand the impact of COVID-19 on these domains. The excellent communication effort response from governments, international, and individuals to keep the public informed about the outbreak is highlighted. Unraveling such impacts on the Saudi communities, including healthcare workers (HCWs)/professionals (HCPs), students, patients with different diseases, and non-professional individuals, is essential in containing the outbreak and planning preventive measures in case of future outbreaks.
严重急性呼吸综合征冠状病毒2（SARS-CoV-2）大流行改变了我们对全球医疗保健意识的认识。在此期间积累的相关数据量超过了任何其他病毒病原体的爆发。医疗保健意识与“世界卫生组织（WHO）支持各国防范和应对的业务规划指南”的九大支柱之一相关。本综述围绕沙特阿拉伯目前与意识/知识、态度和行为（KAP）相关的出版物展开，以了解COVID-19对这些领域的影响。重点强调了政府、国际组织和个人为让公众了解疫情所做出的出色沟通努力。弄清楚这种对沙特社区的影响，包括医护人员（HCWs）/专业人员（HCPs）、学生、患有不同疾病的患者以及非专业人员，对于控制疫情以及为未来疫情爆发制定预防措施至关重要。
