CONCLUSION
The results from this analysis, including the changing risk perception and mask use, suggest guideline dissemination penetrated the rural areas of Zambia. However, there is continuing need to optimize public health messaging to further encourage NPI use at funerals and other high-risk gatherings. The findings from this analysis should be considered as the COVID-19 pandemic continues to evolve. Lessons may also be applied to future pandemics or epidemics.
