Introduction : Since the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic in December 2019, various global measures have been adopted to curb its spread. Pharmacy staff are at the forefront of disseminating health information to the public. This study evaluates the knowledge, attitude, and anxiety levels regarding COVID-19 among pharmacy staff in Iran. Materials & Methods : This cross-sectional study was conducted between May 10, 2021, and September 20, 2021, involving pharmacy staff from the Ilam province in Western Iran. A semi-structured questionnaire, including sections on knowledge, attitude, and anxiety related to COVID-19, was used to collect data. Statistical analysis was performed using SPSS V.26, with a significance level of P<0.05. Results : Most of the pharmacy personnel (94.67%) knew a lot about the symptoms and (84.46%) how COVID-19 spreads. Also, 86.7% of the people who took part said they would be prepared to stay in quarantine if they showed signs of illness. 20.4% of the pharmacy personnel said that anxiety over COVID-19 got in the way of their everyday tasks. Conclusion : The findings show that pharmacy staff in Iran have adequate knowledge and a positive attitude toward COVID-19, with low levels of anxiety. Ongoing education and mental health support are essential to further improve their role in pandemic response.
