Covid19, Influenza A, Respiratory Disease
Conditions
Brief summary
The outbreak of the novel coronavirus SARS-CoV-2 caused a health emergency of international proportions when it was declared by the World Health Organization (WHO) in January 2020. Since then, the virus has spread internationally and the WHO has classified the outbreak as a pandemic. In the context of the increasing reporting of this pandemic and the increasing governmental measures to limit or slow down the spread of SARS-CoV-2 by all means, there is so far little scientific evidence for the effects of a healthy lifestyle on the disease. The aim of this study is to compare the potential of different, possibly protective lifestyles using the example of the COVID-19 pandemic. We will conduct an online survey with 3.000 participants using mobile website technology.
