To clarify the implementation status of personal protective measures by ordinary citizens in Japan during the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) outbreak.
This was a cross-sectional study based on internet-based survey. A total of 2400 people (50% male: 20-79 years) were selected between February 25 and 27, 2020, from registrants of an Internet research company, to complete a questionnaire. Participants were asked to indicate how often they implemented the following five personal protective measures recommended by the World Health Organization (hand hygiene, social distancing measures, avoiding touching the eyes, nose and mouth, respiratory etiquette, and self-isolation). In addition, the participants responded to questions regarding the daily frequency of hand hygiene events.
The prevalence of the five personal protective measures ranged from 59.8% to 83.8%, with the lowest being avoiding touching the eyes, nose, and mouth. In total, 34.7% implemented all personal protective measures. The median daily hand hygiene events were 5 per day (25th percentile, 75th percentile: 3,8).
The protective measures implemented by ordinary citizens are insufficient and further public awareness activities are required.
明确 2019 年冠状病毒病（COVID-19）疫情期间日本普通市民个人防护措施的实施情况。
这是一项基于互联网调查的横断面研究。2020 年 2 月 25 日至 27 日，从一家互联网研究公司的注册者中随机选择了 2400 人（50%为男性：20-79 岁）完成问卷。参与者被要求指出他们实施世界卫生组织（手部卫生、社会距离措施、避免触摸眼睛、鼻子和嘴巴、呼吸礼仪和自我隔离）推荐的以下五项个人防护措施的频率。此外，参与者还回答了关于日常手部卫生事件频率的问题。
五项个人防护措施的流行率在 59.8%至 83.8%之间，最低的是避免触摸眼睛、鼻子和嘴巴。总共有 34.7%的人实施了所有个人防护措施。每日手部卫生事件的中位数为 5 次/天（第 25 百分位数，第 75 百分位数：3，8）。
普通市民实施的防护措施不足，需要进一步开展公众意识活动。
