“…In this study, we defined attitude toward preventive behavior as the degree to which a person’s attitude is favorable or unfavorable toward preventive behavior adoption. Wang et al (2021) suggest that individual attitudes toward compliance behavior directly affect public health efforts during the pandemic. Attitude has long been recognized as the antecedent of behavioral intention ( Suki and Suki, 2011 ).…”

Preventive behavior adoption is the key to reduce the possibility of getting COVID-19 infection. This paper aims to examine the determinants of intention to adopt preventive behavior by incorporating perception of e-government information and services and perception of social media into the theory of reasoned action. A cross-sectional online survey was carried out among Malaysian residents. Four hundred four valid responses were obtained and used for data analysis. A partial least-square-based path analysis revealed direct effects of attitude and subjective norm in predicting intention to adopt preventive behavior. In addition, perception of e-government information and services and perception of social media were found to be significant predictors of attitude toward preventive behavior. The findings highlight the importance of digital platforms in improving people’s attitudes toward preventive behavior and in turn contain the spread of the infectious disease.

“…Even though vaccines are now available in many countries, it is still considered important to elicit voluntary public cooperation for both vaccination and nonpharmacological prevention measures, including social distancing. It is very unfortunate that even with extensive efforts of government officials on enforcing these prevention measures, most of the countries have been facing non-cooperation of the public (Ryu et al, 2020;Nivette et al, 2021;Wang et al, 2021). Given that the COVID-19 is predicted to be a long-lasting endemic (Hunter, 2020), encouraging individuals to follow the prevention measures still remains a critical challenge across the world.…”

The present study monitored changes in beliefs about the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic, depressive symptoms, and preventive motives between the first and second waves in South Korea using an online survey administered to 1,144 individuals nationally representative for age, gender, and areas of residence. While participants correctly updated their beliefs about the worsening pandemic situations, the perceived importance of social distancing did not change, and their motives to follow prevention measures shifted toward compulsory rather than voluntary motives. This inconsistency appeared to be mediated by depressive symptoms, such that negative belief changes followed by increased depressive symptoms were associated with the decreased perceived importance of social distancing and decreased voluntary motives. Our data highlights the importance of psychological responses to the dynamically evolving pandemic situations in promoting preventive behaviors.

“…However, large technological companies are working hard to reduce the spread of erroneous information. Google, YouTube, Instagram, and Facebook, for example, have worked tirelessly to direct the public to the most up-todate, verifiable information available through the WHO website; see [19,20].…”

A pandemic caused by the novel coronavirus (COVID-19) is causing an unprecedented situation for the world’s health services. Health, local communities, and government are adversely affected by the COVID-19 pandemic. Moreover, on January 21, 2020, the WHO Emergency Committee declared a global health emergency because of increasing numbers of COVID-19 case notifications from countries overseas. While the pandemic caused grave damage to socioeconomic phenomena and multiple global phenomena such as commodity prices, remittances, trade, tourism, significant job loss, and drastically lower wages, the pandemic has also negatively affected multiple global phenomena. The advent of technology has spurred significant changes in many aspects of our lives and improved the exchange of information, the presentation of data, and the management of medical resources through telemedicine. In this article, we present a mathematical data visualization approach for analyzing pandemic data behaviors, such as exponential growth and deviations using the data related to COVID-19 events. Furthermore, this article will include studies on the implications of the COVID-19 pandemic on finance sector.
