The imposition of protective health protocols in public spaces to curb the spread of coronavirus disease (COVID-19) has confronted the ritual of congregational prayers in mosques for Muslims. This study examines the adoption of protective behaviors in the early stage of the COVID-19 outbreak and the influence of religion on risk perception by comparing precautionary behaviors in public and in mosques.
Data were collected through an online survey of 327 Muslim men across the Aceh Province, Indonesia, from April 21, 2020, to May 2, 2020. The Wilcoxon signed-rank test and the paired t-test were employed to compare the uptake of protective behaviors in public and mosques.
The adoption of protective behaviors was higher in public rather than in mosques. It further revealed that the understanding of Islamic teachings during the pandemic has influenced perceived risk and the way Muslim men comply with the protective guidelines. Those who have complete, incomplete, or no compliance of precautionary behaviors have their own interpretation of Islamic teachings that inform their individual actions to manage the risk.
This study suggests the significance of religious views for developing public health preparedness during the current and future pandemics in Aceh and other Muslim majority regions.
在公共场所实施保护性健康协议以遏制冠状病毒病（COVID-19）传播，这给穆斯林在清真寺进行集体祈祷的仪式带来了挑战。本研究通过比较在公共场合和清真寺的预防行为，考察了COVID-19疫情爆发初期保护性措施的采用情况以及宗教对风险认知的影响。
2020年4月21日至2020年5月2日，通过对印度尼西亚亚齐省327名穆斯林男性进行在线调查收集数据。采用威尔科克森符号秩检验和配对t检验来比较在公共场合和清真寺采取保护行为的情况。
在公共场合采取保护行为的比例高于在清真寺。研究还表明，疫情期间对伊斯兰教义的理解影响了人们感知到的风险以及穆斯林男性遵守保护指南的方式。那些完全、部分或未遵守预防行为的人对伊斯兰教义有各自的解读，这些解读指导着他们个人应对风险的行动。
本研究表明宗教观点对于在亚齐省及其他穆斯林占多数的地区当前和未来疫情期间制定公共卫生防范措施具有重要意义。
