Association between Australian Hajj Pilgrims’ awareness of MERS-CoV, and their compliance with preventive measures and exposure to camels 2016-07-18 .txt text/plain 2321 108 56 title: Association between Australian Hajj Pilgrims' awareness of MERS-CoV, and their compliance with preventive measures and exposure to camels Through a prospective cohort study the relationship between travellers' awareness of MERS-CoV, and compliance with preventive measures and exposure to camels was evaluated among Australian Hajj pilgrims who attended Hajj in 2015. [7] [8] [9] However, no study has attempted to investigate the association between Hajj pilgrims' awareness of MERS-CoV, and their compliance with preventive measures and exposure to camels. This study shows that only 28% of Australian pilgrims were aware of MERS-CoV before attending the Hajj 2015, with some engaging in high risk behaviours such as exposure to camels (2%), and non-compliance with preventive measures. 8, 9 Importantly, this study showed that pilgrims who were aware of MERS-CoV were twice more likely to intend to avoid contact with camels and consume their raw products during Hajj than those who were unaware. ./cache/cord-331980-m6dflwmm.txt ./txt/cord-331980-m6dflwmm.txt
