T180 564-762 Sentence denotes The self-reported compliance was statistically analyzed with the COVID-19 RT-PCR reports to observe the association between the adherence to the preventive practices and their COVID-19 test results.

T187 1755-1891 Sentence denotes The prophylactic use of hydroxychloroquine was associated with some protection level (p=0.059), which was not statistically significant.
T188 1892-2069 Sentence denotes With its in-vitro effectivity against SARS-CoV-2 and good lung concentration, hydroxychloroquine is a drug candidate selected to be used as prophylaxis against COVID-19 [13-15].

T191 2284-2488 Sentence denotes These medications are considered as immunity boosters and used by a larger portion of society in this subcontinent, though the actual form of the alternative medications was not enquired of in this study.
T192 2489-2878 Sentence denotes We do not conclude about the prophylactic role of these medications here as the possible reason for the apparent protection conferred by the alternative medications might lie in the fact that people exercising such measures are more conscious about other preventive practices like mask use and social distancing, which are proven to be effective in preventing the transmission of COVID-19.
T193 2879-3040 Sentence denotes The social distancing of more than six feet was found to be statistically relevant as a protective measure against COVID-19 and should be practiced at all times.
T194 3041-3129 Sentence denotes There is an established role of social distancing to mitigate the spread of the disease.
T195 3130-3370 Sentence denotes A systematic review had concluded that the transmission of the virus becomes significantly lower when a physical distancing of 1 meter (~ three feet) or more was maintained (n= 10,736, pooled adjusted odds ratio 0.18, 95% CI 0.09-0.38) [2].
T196 3371-3468 Sentence denotes The authors have also shown that the degree of protection improves if the distance is increased. 
T197 3469-3695 Sentence denotes It was not surprising that participants who reported to wash their hands at regular intervals while maintaining appropriate duration and who used their N-95 masks with recommended fit check were protected against this disease.

T199 3904-4185 Sentence denotes While analyzing the practice of using PPE and PPE kits among frontline healthcare workers (n=150), we did not find any significant statistical correlation between their use and the chances of acquiring COVID-19 except for the use of face shields, which were found to be protective.
T200 4186-4263 Sentence denotes But no concluding remarks could not be made owing to the smaller sample size.
T201 4264-4406 Sentence denotes The study's major strength is that all the samples were tested by RT-PCR, which is considered the gold standard for the diagnosis of COVID-19.
