我们通过 2020 年 4 月和 2020 年 6 月的两项在线横断面调查，评估了莫桑比克在 2020 年 3 月引入新冠肺炎 (COVID-19) 后不久实施的政府建议的遵守情况。我们通过综合评分量化了对预防措施的遵守情况，该综合评分包括五项措施：保持身体距离、使用口罩、手部卫生、咳嗽卫生和避免触摸面部。第一轮和第二轮分别有3770人和1115人参加。戴口罩、勤洗手、咳嗽卫生的遵守率均达到90%以上，保持身体距离、避免触摸面部的遵守率达到80-90%。一项调查与依从性相关因素的多变量模型发现，年龄较大、受教育程度较高以及属于医疗保健行业会增加依从性较高的几率。私营工人和退休人员、通过社交媒体接收 COVID-19 信息的受访者以及报告流感样症状的受访者不太可能坚持。 6% 的受访者报告出现类似流感的症状，这符合 WHO 对 COVID-19 的临床定义，表明社区传播程度较低。总之，莫桑比克这项在线调查的大多数受访者都很好地遵守了预防 COVID-19 的策略。良好的预防行为是否可以解释 COVID-19 的低度传播需要进一步研究。
We assessed adherence to government recommendations implemented shortly after the introduction of COVID-19 in Mozambique in March 2020, through two online cross-sectional surveys in April and June 2020. We quantified adherence to preventive measures by a composite score comprising of five measures: physical distancing, face mask use, hand hygiene, cough hygiene, and avoidance of touching the face. 3770 and 1115 persons participated in the first and second round respectively. Wearing face masks, regular handwashing and cough hygiene all reached compliance rates of over 90% while physical distancing and avoiding to touch the face reached a compliance rate of 80–90%. A multivariable model investigating factors associated with adherence found that being older, more educated, and belonging to the healthcare sector increased the odds for higher adherence. Private workers and retired people, respondents receiving COVID-19 information through social media, and those who reported flu-like symptoms were less likely to adhere. 6% of respondents reported flu-like symptoms which aligned with the WHO clinical definition of COVID-19, suggesting low level community transmission. In conclusion, most respondents in this online survey in Mozambique complied well with strategies to prevent COVID-19. Whether the good preventive behaviour explains the low grade COVID-19 transmission requires further study.
