The COVID-19 pandemic has spread globally. The policy of social distancing, which was originally adopted by many countries, has also been transformed due to the huge impact on the economy. In order to coexist with the virus, this study used the data of the 2003 first Social Image Survey which includes questions about personal epidemic prevention behaviors conducted during the SARS epidemic in Taiwan to analyze the behaviors of crowd avoidance and non-pharmaceutical interventions (NPIs). According to the theory of demand, we found that the awareness of symptoms, the warry of affection, and the expected time to epidemic under control can significantly affect the behavior of crowd avoidance. There is no endogenous relationship between non-pharmaceutical interventions and crowd avoidance behavior. |
