Translational Behavioral Medicine, 14(12), 732-737. https://doi.org/10.1093/tbm/ibae061

It is assumed that increases in Covid-19 cases are caused by people not adhering to advised individual transmission-reducing behaviours. Upon the implementation of restrictions, the hypothesis is that those individuals will change their behaviour. We...
