Severe respiratory syndrome coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2) is the causative factor for this disease. It has affected about 210 countries worldwide, resulting in over 1,26,000 deaths. Being a droplet infection, it spreads between people having close contact. It is contracted through small droplets produced by sneezing, coughing, and talking. The droplet could also fall on the ground and onto other surfaces and people touching these surfaces could also contract the infection. The role of the public in this is extremely crucial. The citizens should abide by the rules of social distancing strictly. Everyone must try to stay at home as much as possible, even though there is an exception for those in essential services like government jobs and medical facilities. Going out should be avoided as much as possible, people should only go if it is absolutely necessary and even then not meet people or stand in groups. The study aimed to assess the awareness and initiative taken by the condominium office administrators and residents among the metro cities during an infection (COVID-19) spread. Materials and Methods: A questionnaire was distributed through an online Google form link to about 100 people living in condominiums belonging to all age groups. The results were collected and analyzed statistically using SPSS. Results: The majority of the study population responded positively to the awareness and initiatives taken by condominium authorities and strict rules were laid. Conclusion: The spread of awareness and the strict decisions taken by the public is very essential to fight against a pandemic such as COVID 19.&#13;
