Objectives: Citizens who perceive SARS-CoV-2 as a threat may experience heightened anxiety of the severe illness caused by COVID-19. This study investigated the trends in anxiety and performance of preventive measures among Taiwanese citizens during the early stages of the COVID-19 pandemic. Methods: This study employed an anonymous online survey to investigate anxiety and preventive behavior practice in adults during the early stages of the COVID-19 pandemic. The 6-item state version of the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI-6) was used to measure symptoms of anxiety. The preventive measures consisted of 12 items divided into three categories: Personal protection, cough etiquette, and social distance and voluntary quarantine. The three time periods studied were the lockdown in Wuhan, China (from January 23 to February 7), the week when enhanced border protections and in-person mask purchase systems were introduced and the first citizen tested positive for SARS-CoV-2 without symptoms (from February 8 to February 16), and the 10 days following the first death from COVID-19 in Taiwan (from February 27 to March 9). The Cochran-Armitage trend test and the Jonckheere trend test were used to analyze changes in the degree of anxiety and the adoption of preventive measures in the early stages of the epidemic. An analysis of covariance was performed to examine the relationship between changes in anxiety and engagement in preventive behaviors after control for sex, age, education, and income. Results: The percentages of the participants with moderate to high levels of anxiety during the three time periods were 45%, 50%, and 55%, respectively. The percentages of those who practiced preventive measures often or always during the three time periods were 46%, 58%, and 66%, respectively. Significant increases were found both in levels of anxiety and in performance of preventive measures over the three time periods, but no differences across sex, age, education, or income groups were found. Changes in anxiety and performance of preventive behaviors were significantly associated during the three periods. Conclusions: The results revealed that as the pandemic spread, citizens' anxiety, and performance of preventive measures increased significantly for each sex, age, education level, and income group. © 2021 Chinese Public Health Association of Taiwan.

Objectives: The Taiwan Centers for Disease Control have established government quarantine facilities (GQF) to prevent the community spread of COVID-19. Medical personnel are frontline workers who must have contact with individuals in quarantine and are thus at higher risk of infection. As a reference for future recruitment, this study investigated why some medical personnel volunteer to care for individuals in GQF. Methods: The researchers used purposive sampling to recruit participants from a GQF in northern Taiwan. Focus group interviews were administered. The consistency of the interview outline content was 91%. After the interviews, content analysis was performed to examine and summarize the data. The data were coded before comparison, categorization and summarization, producing various core categories. Results: A total of 12 participants voluntarily attended our interviews, compromising 4 men and 8 women, with an average age of 48.1 ±6.4 years and an average length of service in GQF of 82.1 ± 77.1 days. Our study results revealed four aspects and six reasons that affect the voluntary participation of medical personnel in epidemic prevention tasks. The first aspect was meeting safety needs, and the reasons included sufficient personal protective equipment, complete standard operating procedures, and orientation training and in-service education and training. The second aspect was meeting the needs of love and belonging, and the reason included a good working atmosphere. The third aspect was meeting the need for self-esteem, and the reason included Taiwan's previous SARS epidemic prevention experience. Finally, the fourth aspect was meeting the need for selfrealization, and the reason was based on the humanistic concern. Conclusions: At the time of the coronavirus outbreak, various countries reported insufficient medical personnel or personnel unwilling to participate in epidemic prevention work. Our results revealed that if the environment met the Maslow's hierarchy of needs, it can attract medical personnel to volunteer in GQF tasks. In formulating policies, the needs must be met at all levels, so that medical staff would be willing to participate in epidemic prevention work. © 2021 Chinese Public Health Association of Taiwan.

The coronavirus disease (COVID-19) outbreak has not only had severe social and economic effect but also has substantially affected the lifestyles of individuals As the coronavirus pandemic rips through the world, many countries have implemented series of restrictions to control infection, such as the wearing of masks outside, social distancing, home isolation, home quarantine, group quarantine, and lockdowns, and these measures have inevitably limited physical activity and required more sedentary behavior How a person can remain physically active and healthy during the COVID-19 pandemic is a crucial issue The following procedure was implemented to review evidence regarding the COVID-19 outbreak and physical activity First, the latest physical activity guidelines released by the United States, United Kingdom, and World Health Organization were reviewed, and the prevalence of insufficient physical activity was determined Second, the effects of the COVID-19 outbreak on physical activity and amount of sedentary behavior were discussed using the obtained evidence Finally, the current review suggests the following for individuals wishing to remain physically active and healthy: (1) Some physical activity is preferable to nothing Engaging in some moderate-intensity physical activity, such as at least 4,000-5,000 steps per day (7,000-8,000 is better) at a pace of 100-130 steps per minute and resistance training twice a week to improve major muscle-group strength, is essential for everyone (2) Daily sedentary time should be kept to less than 9 hours a day, and numerous breaks (e g , every 50 minutes) in which sedentary time is replaced with light activity (e g , 5to 10-minute walking or stretch exercise) should be taken (3) Ideally, people should engage in different types of physical activity, including aerobic exercise, resistance training, stretching, and balance training (4) Finally, people should select types of exercise (e g , freehand exercise, equipment-assisted exercise, electronic exercise, or household work) that fit their interests and resources These suggestions provide guidance for strengthening individuals' mental and physical well-being through physical activity in response to the COVID-19 pandemic or future similar outbreaks (Taiwan J Public Health 2020;39(4):364-372)

新型冠状病毒病(COVID-19)的爆发不仅造成了严重的社会经济影响，也严重影响了个人的生活方式。随着新型冠状病毒大流行席卷全球，许多国家采取了一系列限制措施，如外出戴口罩、保持社交距离、居家隔离、居家隔离、集体隔离、封锁等，以控制感染。如何在COVID-19大流行期间保持身体活动和健康是一个至关重要的问题。实施了以下程序，以审查有关COVID-19疫情和身体活动的证据。首先，审查了美国、英国和世界卫生组织发布的最新身体活动指南。其次，利用获得的证据讨论了COVID-19疫情对身体活动和久坐行为量的影响。最后，目前的综述建议希望保持身体活动和健康的个人以下几点:(1)一些体育活动比没有参与中等强度的体力活动,如每天至少4000 - 5000步更好(7000 - 8000)以每分钟100 - 130步的速度和阻力训练每周两次改善主要肌群力量,对每个人来说都是至关重要的(2)每天久坐不动的时间应该保持每天小于9小时,和众多优惠(e g,每50分钟)中久坐的时间换成光活动(e g,(3)理想情况下，人们应该从事不同类型的体育活动，包括有氧运动、抗阻训练、伸展运动和平衡训练。(4)最后，人们应该选择运动类型(如徒手运动、器械辅助运动、电子运动、健身运动)。这些建议为应对COVID-19大流行或未来类似疫情，通过体育活动增强个人身心健康提供了指导(台湾公共卫生杂志2020;39(4):364-372)。

Objectives: Cleanliness of hospitals' public environmental equipment or contact surfaces are frequently overlooked in the prevention of COVID-19 This paper discusses the cleaning frequency, with the purpose of preventing COVID-19 infection and controlling its dissipation during the pandemic Methods: Using the ATP cold light reaction detection method, we quantified the degree of pollution in hospitals' public environmental equipment or contact surfaces to reflect the effect of actual cleaning frequency Results: Empirical findings indicated that according to the conventional cleaning and enhanced cleaning frequency, different test results are expected as generally predicted Routine cleaning cannot meet the standard recommended in the literature (i e , <250 RLU) Conclusions: During the COVID-19 pandemic, the frequency of cleaning and disinfecting surfaces of objects frequently contacted by general public should be increased to every 2 hours Moreover, these results should be regularly monitored and reflected to the cleaning staff, so that they can support strict compliance with environmental and hand hygiene to meet infection control goals for COVID-19 © 2020 Chinese Public Health Association of Taiwan All rights reserved

目的:医院公共环境设备或接触面的清洁在COVID-19的预防中经常被忽视。本文探讨了清洁频率，目的是预防COVID-19感染并控制其在大流行期间的传播。采用ATP冷光反应检测法对医院公共环境设备或接触面的污染程度进行量化，以反映实际清洗频率的影响。结果:实证研究表明，根据常规清洗和强化清洗频率，预期的检测结果与一般预测的不同。常规清洗不能达到文献推荐的标准(即<250 RLU)。COVID-19大流行期间，应将公众经常接触的物体表面的清洁和消毒频率增加到每2小时一次，并定期监测这些结果并反映给清洁人员，使他们能够支持严格遵守环境和手卫生，以达到COVID-19感染控制目标©2020中国台湾公共卫生协会版权所有
