In a report by the Central Statistics Agency (BPS), 17 out of 100 respondents considered themselves immune to Covid-19 infection. This is reflected in 4.5% of respondents who considered it very unlikely and 12.5% who considered it unlikely to contract the virus.

These two statements were dominated by people aged 17-30 years, followed by those over 60. Their backgrounds varied, but showed a similar pattern: the higher the level of education, the more dangerous and contagious Covid-19 was perceived to be.

The BPS conducted a survey from September 7-14, 2020, involving 90,967 respondents. They were aged 17 to over 60 years and had educational backgrounds ranging from elementary school to postgraduate studies.

The government continues to encourage the public to practice the 3M movement. The public is urged to become more accustomed to washing their hands with soap and running water, wearing masks, and maintaining physical distance.
