Abstract

The height of COVID‐19 crisis brought numerous changes in the behavior of citizens. It is very crucial because the focus of the government is concentrated on stopping the spread of the coronavirus. The world seemed to stop spinning and that people have wondered how to go on with life day by day. The citizens of the nation are willing to actually change their behavior and comply with the new rules to inhibit the viral contagion in order to function normally and be able to earn for living or do normally what used to be done like students going to school. The measures to contain the possible spread of virus have been identified and strictly implemented. A descriptive design was used in the study which attempts to outline systematically a situation, problem, phenomenon, service or program, or provides information about the living conditions of a community, or describes attitudes towards an issue (Kumar, 2011). The respondents of this study were the students of the Bachelor of Science in Legal Management and Bachelor of Science in Accounting Information System of the College of Business, Entrepreneurship and Accountancy of the Andrews Campus where a convenience sampling technique was employed using the online google form questionnaire which is a checklist that has been modified by the researchers based on the standard of the Inter-Agency Task Force on Covid-19 when it comes to the precautionary measures needed to avoid the spread of the virus. The data needed for the study was interpreted, treated and analyzed by means of frequency counts, percentages, weighted mean, Anova and chi-square using a 4-point Likert Scale.
