5. I am thinking too much about other risks to my or others' physical health now that the Covid-19 pandemic restrictions are easing.

6. I am finding it hard to stop physical distancing or avoiding contact with people now that the Covid-19 pandemic restrictions are easing.

7. I am finding it hard to stop disinfecting behaviours (e.g. handwashing, use of sterile wipes, use of gloves, masks, etc.) that are no longer officially recommended now that the Covid-19 pandemic restrictions are easing.

Participants were asked to choose one of the following 5 alternative responses for each statement: Completely disagree, disagree, neither agree nor disagree, agree, completely agree. Scores on the responses were allocated from completely disagree = 1 to completely agree = 5).
