There are 4 conclusions; I want to make it at one
1
Conclusion,
Study showed that there are knowledge gap and negative attitude among healthcare providers at Makkah hospitals towards MERS-CoV infection although they reported good practices. Continued and strengthened educational programs are needed to improve their knowledge and change their attitudes towards MERS-CoV infection that will be in the interest of global public health
2
Conclusions:
The knowledge about emerging infectious diseases was poor and there is need for further education and training programs particularly in the use of personal protective equipment, isolation and infection control measures. The self-reported infection control practices were sub-optimal and seem to be overestimated
3
Conclusion
The study reflected the importance of health education as a cornerstone element in improving KAP toward MERS-CoV infection in preventing the virus spread and disease outbreak.

Conclusions:
The findings of this study showed that healthcare workers in Qassim region of Saudi Arabia have good knowledge and positive attitude towards MERS. Yet there are areas where low knowledge and negative attitude of HCWs was observed. However, studies are required to assess the knowledge and attitude of HCWs at national level so that effective interventions could be designed as surveillance and infection control measures are critical to global public health.
