Abstract

To stop the spread of COVID-19, numerous public policies and programs have been implemented worldwide. Globally, social and public health initiatives have been put in place to stop the COVID-19 virus from spreading. Effective pandemic control relies on community compliance with these measures. Urban areas play a significant role as the hub of national economic activity and government, for which the pandemic has had a significant impact. To evaluate the compliance of adults residing in the greater Jakarta area, a cross-sectional study was carried out. A questionnaire consisting of demographic questions, questions about personal hygiene, and questions about personal safety practices was administered online between August and September 2022. 515 people in total responded to the survey. The majority of respondents followed the advised personal and hygienic precautions to prevent SARS-CoV-2 contamination. Some significant flaws, however, were found, including the failure to wear face masks when in public, improper hand washing and sanitizing, poor food hygiene, and insufficient house cleaning and sanitization. This study suggests that ongoing risk communication and preventive advice are necessary to stop the COVID-19 from spreading.
