Abstract
The COVID-19 crisis occurred on December 2019 that was prevalent in Tokyo. The risk communication of infection disease is important to build between the local authority and the citizens, and in particular, the governor needs to offer information about COVID-19 measures to them as the face of local authority. Risk-avoiders have a tendency to mistrust the risk management actor because they are on alert for infection. Although risk-avoiders take the attitude and behavior related to the risk-taking by media exposure, how will it impact to build the trust with the governor and to the policy evaluation? The purpose of this study is to elucidate the factors to explain the trust of the governor and policy evaluation. As a result, in the early stage of infection spread, the more people avoid risk, the more they exposure TV, and they build the trust of the governor by the policy evaluation.
