New Study Shows how to Improve Public’s COVID19 Health-Preserving Attitudes
The outbreak of COVID-19 caused governments and researchers around the globe to follow two main routes in order to address the crisis and reduce effective reproduction numbers of the virus: (1) impose restrictions, closures and emergency regulations, and (2) search for a vaccine and effective medication.A new study, in which Prof. Dr. Sebastian Goerg, Professor for Economics at the Straubing Campus for Biotechnology and Sustainability and a researcher at the Technical University of Munich was involved, follows a third route that focuses on individuals’ attitudes and the development of health promoting motivations of the public.
