In
mid-November 2020, more precisely between November 13 and 16, 2020, independent
experts from various fields connected as members of the civil initiatives
COVID-19 Tracker Slovenia and Young Doctors (Mladi zdravniki) conducted a
survey entitled "How do you take care of yourself and others?". The aim
of the survey was to find out to what extent the people of Slovenia followed
the recommendations to limit the epidemic of COVID-19. Respondents reported
their behaviour during past seven days, that is, during the second week of
November 2020. The online questionnaire, which was distributed on social
networks, including on the so-called conspiratorial Facebook groups where
COVID-19 sceptics gathered, etc., was answered by 5,165 people. Based on the
data, the differences in adherence to recommendations between different regions
were calculated.
