  abstract = {{B}ackground {COVID}-19 constitutes a global health emergency of unprecedented proportions. {P}reventive measures, however, have run up against certain difficulties in low and middle-income countries. {T}his is the case in socially and geographically marginalized communities, which are excluded from information about preventive measures. {T}his study contains a dual objective, i) to assess knowledge of {COVID}-19 and the preventive measures associated with it concerning indigents in the villages of {D}iebougou's district in {B}urkina {F}aso. {T}he aim is to understand if determinants of this understanding exist, and ii) to describe how their pathways to healthcare changed from 2019 to 2020 during the {COVID}-19 pandemic. {M}ethods {T}he study was conducted in the {D}iebougou healthcare district, in the south-west region of {B}urkina {F}aso. {W}e relied on a cross-sectional design and used data from the fourth round of a panel survey conducted among a sample of ultra-poor people that had been monitored since 2015. {D}ata were collected in {A}ugust 2020 and included a total of 259 ultra-poor people. {A} multivariate logistic regression to determine the factors associated with the respondents' knowledge of {COVID}-19 was used. {R}esults {H}alf of indigents in the district said they had heard about {COVID}-19. {O}nly 29% knew what the symptoms of the disease were. {T}he majority claimed that they protected themselves from the virus by using preventive measures. {T}his level of knowledge of the disease can be observed with no differences between the villages. {H}alf of the indigents who expressed themselves agreed with government measures except for the closure of markets. {A}n increase of over 11% can be seen in indigents without the opportunity for getting healthcare compared with before the pandemic. {C}onclusions {T}his research indicates that {COVID}-19 is partially known and that prevention measures are not universally understood. {T}he study contributes to reducing the fragmentation of knowledge, in particular on vulnerable and marginalized populations. {R}esults should be useful for future interventions for the control of epidemics that aim to leave no one behind.},
