This paper presents preliminary results of a representative survey of the German population focusing on perceptions of risk and ways of coping with COVID - 19. Results show that older people estimate the risk of COVID - 19 as being less than younger people. Women are more concerned about COVID - 19 than men. People especially worry about being infected in places with high public traffic such as public transport and shops or restaurants. Coping strategies are highly problem - focused and most respondents listen to experts’ advice and try to behave calmly and appropriate ly. People accept that measures to tackle COVID - 19 will take time to be effective. Bulk buying and s to ring of food is mainly justified by a combination of convenience and a perceived need to be prepared for potential quarantine.
