Given that COVID-19 is a new disease with worldwide devastating effects, it is understandable that its emergence and spread cause considerable confusion, anxiety, and fear among the people. Despite the supportive evidence for realities change, there still exists many rumors and misinformation to ensure the prevention and management of COVID-19 in society [2]. According to the World Health Organization (WHO], the disease is transmitted through touch respiratory droplets and close contact methods. Respiratory droplets produced during normal conversation, cough, or sneeze may be important in transmitting disease, especially indoors.
