COVID-19 is a devastating disease with worldwide effects. To control and prevent COVID-19 and save lives, preventive and protective measures have been encouraged globally. Nurses and midwives have been among the most vulnerable groups to COVID-19 infection because their jobs involve heightened exposure to COVID-19-infected patients. This survey study aimed to investigate protective measures against COVID-19 for nurses and midwives. This was a descriptive quantitative survey study. The sample was 1706 nurses and midwives. A self-reported survey questionnaire was used to collect the data on protective measures against COVID-19 for nurses and midwives. Data were analysed through descriptive statistics. The study found that the majority of nurses and midwives did not receive COVID-19 training. Despite this, they were willing to care for COVID-19 patients and aware of methods for preventing COVID-19 infection. In addition, most participants had taken COVID-19 preventive precautions. Almost two-thirds of participants were vaccinated against COVID-19, and a vast majority had used appropriate PPE as a protective device against it.
