Abstract
The study noted that participants were more inclined towards using local herbs for mitigating the impact of the third wave of COVID19. They also preferred using a religious approach such as praying and fasting rather than adhering to the WHO regulations. This called for education to ensure that people affected use an integrated approach in addressing the challenges of the pandemic rather showing preference for selected strategies. The study findings generally suggest that, people in peri-urban settings of developing countries were likely to adopt local methods than international ones in the fight against the COVID pandemic.
