Factors explaining the fear of being infected with COVID-19

Arcadio A. Cerda et al.

Summary: The study conducted in Chile found that fear of contracting COVID-19 was mainly prevalent in women, and it was positively associated with variables such as chronic illnesses, infectious family members, decreased economic activity, and perception of poor government response. Conversely, knowledge about COVID-19, education level, and aging were negatively correlated with fear. Those who prioritize health care over socioeconomic impact were less likely to fear COVID-19 infection.
