Abbreviations: APR = adjusted prevalence ratio, CI = confidence interval, COVID-19 = coronavirus disease 2019, three Cs = closed spaces, crowded places, and close-contact settings, SE = standard error. Note: Data were extracted from the Japan COVID-19 and Society Internet Survey (JACSIS), a nationwide, self-reported survey and were weighted to account for the selectivity bias of the Internet-based sample using a nationally representative sample as the reference. APRs and CIs were computed by multivariable Poisson regression analysis.
