Several reports have investigated the current understanding of COVID-19 burden among healthcare workers (HCWs) and the impact of HCWs’ knowledge on the pandemic trajectory. This study aimed to assess the level of knowledge and attitude towards COVID-19 among emergency healthcare services (EMS) providers affiliated with the Saudi Red Crescent Authority (SRCA). A questionnaire-based cross-sectional study was designed and targeted EMS providers affiliated with the SRCA. The participants were recruited from different regions using the non-probability convenience sampling technique. A total of 380 responses were retrieved. The mean knowledge score was 16.5 ±2.8 (range 0 – 22). The participants also exhibited a favourable attitude with a median attitude score was 71 (IQR 64 – 75; range 27 – 85). Two-thirds of the participants perceived that COVID-19 disease is dangerous, and nearly 73% are concerned about getting the infection or had a family member with the infection. Overall, it was found that, EMS providers affiliated with the SRCA had adequate knowledge regarding the main presentation, mode of transmission, and risk factors of COVID-19 infection. Besides, the EMS providers had a favourable attitude towards the precautionary measures taken by the Saudi authority to mitigate the spread of the pandemic. Raising knowledge about COVID-19 spread and prevention is one of the most effective strategies to face the pandemic and limit its spread.
