Objective To understand the COVID-19 prevention and control behaviors of employees in public places,and to provide a basis for normalized epidemic prevention and control work. Methods The convenience sampling method was used to investigate different public places through the Questionnaire Star network platform in Xinxiang City,and to analyze the prevention and control behaviors and influencing factors of COVID-19 among workers in different public places. Results The general qualification rate of epidemic prevention and control knowledge among public places employees was relatively low,only 71.0%.There were significant differences in the knowledge awareness of epidemic prevention and control among employees with different education levels (χ²=13.094,P=0.006) and in different public places (χ²=12.553,P=0.006).The classification tree model and logistic regression analysis showed that knowledge of epidemic prevention and control,gender and workplace were the influencing factors of epidemic prevention and control behaviors,and knowledge of epidemic prevention and control (OR=0.554,95%CI:0.361-0.850) were the protective factors of epidemic prevention and control behaviors. Conclusion The awareness rate of epidemic prevention and control among employees in public places is low,and their epidemic prevention and control behaviors are poor.Therefore,prevention and control management of COVID-19 in public places should be strengthened.
