Thus, the aim of this study was to investigate the potential impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on medical student\u2019s hygiene and practical skills.<\/jats:p>\n              <\/jats:sec><jats:sec>\n                <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                <jats:p>This case-control study assessed the effect of the COVID-19 pandemic on hygiene behavior by contrasting the practical skills and hygiene adherence of 371 medical students post the pandemic associated lockdown in March 2020 with that of 355 medical students prior to the SARS-CoV-2 outbreak. Students\u2019 skills were assessed using an objective structured clinical examination (OSCE).
