Compliance was defined as participants reporting agreeing with the 53-day lockdown measures.
Note. In Table 3, factors associated with compliance with COVID-19 presidential lockdown measures were those who agreed with the measures aPR = 1.28, 95% CI: 1.10 to 1.49; P = .001 compared to those who did not and likely among those who were afraid of death from COVID-19, aPR = 1.08, 95% CI: 1.01 to 1.15; P = .023 compared to those who did not. However, compliance was less likely among males aPR = 0.91, 95% CI: 0.86 to 0.97; P = .002 compared to females, those aged 35 to 44 years aPR = 0.87, 95% CI: 0.79 to 0.97; P = .013 compared to those less 25 years; and unmarried aPR = 0.89, 95% CI: 0.82 to 0.97; P = .011 compared to the married.
