Document: This study reports on the perceptions and behaviour of the UK adult population in the two days following the government introduction of recommendations on social distancing (6). We found high levels of self-reported behaviour change. Notably, the most-adopted measures, washing hands more frequently with soap and water, using hand sanitiser and covering nose and mouth when sneezing or coughing, prominently featured in national public health campaigns from relatively early on in the epidemic (4) and mirrors results seen in previous pandemics (13) . However, there were marked differences between the perceived effectiveness and adoption of NPIs. This suggests that lack of knowledge on what measures are effective against COVID-19 is not a key driver of compliance in the UK population. In contrast, a similar study conducted in Hong Kong showed comparatively high perceived effectiveness and adoption of preventive measures (11) .
