Behavioral changes of university students during the spread of COVID-19

From a survey under the declaration of a state of emergency

Abstract

On April 7, 2020, the Japanese government declared a state of emergency in seven prefectures in response to the spread of COVID-19. On April 16, the area covered by this declaration of a state of emergency was expanded to include the entire country. During that period, “behavioral change” was strongly emphasized. This report explores the reality of this “behavioral change” through a survey of university students.
