“…However, due to the lengthy duration and long journey, participants from different places need to be properly informed to plan their participation schedule and prepare for the expenses expected [ 18 , 21 ] in order to have the most comfortable and safe participation experience [ 23 , 26 , 27 ]. However, threats, such as the rapid spread of COVID19 and high lethality [ 32 ], have reduced people’s willingness to participate in outdoor activities [ 32 ] and created distrust in the safety of the outdoor environment [ 34 ]. Therefore, achieving safe and comfortable route planning in advance is an important issue so that the physical and mental health of the individual can be protected during participation.…”

“…Epidemic prevention attitudes can be a predictive approach [ 57 ] and can be characterized in terms of decisions that are effective in reducing risk and are wise, correct, important, and satisfactory in their effectiveness. Therefore, to understand the mindset of the public during the campaign, we can examine the understanding, trust, cooperation, and implementation of public prevention measures [ 17 , 34 , 42 , 43 ]. The higher the degree of acceptance, the higher the chance of participation [ 42 , 58 , 59 ].…”

“…Although epidemic prevention decisions may seem sound, there are still risks associated with participation in large gatherings [ 26 , 27 , 28 ], which in turn affects travel intentions [ 23 ]. Therefore, this study suggests that an examination of travel decisions, environmental risk perceptions, epidemic prevention attitudes, and physical and mental health perceptions [ 17 , 28 , 29 , 30 , 31 , 32 , 33 , 34 , 35 , 36 , 37 , 38 , 39 , 40 , 41 , 42 , 43 , 44 , 45 , 46 , 47 , 48 , 49 , 50 , 51 , 52 , 53 , 54 , 55 , 56 , 57 , 58 , 59 , 60 , 61 , 62 , 63 , 64 , 65 , 66 ] can help estimate people’s willingness to travel [ 67 , 68 , 69 , 70 , 71 , 72 , 73 ].

“…Accordingly, believers can judge the risk of the upcoming pilgrimage activities as a basis for determining their willingness to participate in it [ 33 ]. Therefore, we believe that by predicting individual travel behavior through epidemic prevention attitudes [ 34 ], we can further analyze people’s attitudes toward epidemic prevention measures during the Dajia Matsu pilgrimage and help understand their travel intentions.…”

The study was conducted to understand the travel intentions of Dajia Matsu pilgrimage participants through tourism decision making, environmental risk perception, epidemic prevention attitude, and physical and mental health assessment. A questionnaire survey was used to collect 230 questionnaires in the field during the 2021 pilgrimage, and structural analysis was conducted using SPSS 26.0 and AMOS 20.0 statistical programs. The results showed that environmental risk and physical and mental health awareness were not significantly associated with the travel intention of Dajia Matsu pilgrimage participants (p > 0.05), while travel decision and attitude toward epidemic prevention were significantly associated with travel intention (p < 0.05).

Russia’s invasion of Ukraine contributed one of the largest migration movements in the 21st century. Refugees may become a source of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 infections for the residents of host countries. The study aim was to assess knowledge and preventive practices regarding coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) among Ukrainian refugees in Poland. The cross-sectional study was conducted between March and April 2022 among Ukrainian refugees registering consecutively in Zielona Góra, Poland. Knowledge and preventive practices were assessed by giving 1 point for each correct answer by anonymous, self-administered questionnaire. The response rate was 96%, 190 participated (mean age 37.8 ± 15.5 years; 57.9% females); 61.6% self-reported their socio-economic status (SES) as high, 38.9% reported high level of education. The mean COVID-19 knowledge score was 3.06 ± 1.95; 19.5% scored >50%. The knowledge level was higher among migrants with high SES (P = .003). The mean preventive practices score was 2.56 ± 1.38; 54.0% scored ≥ 60%. 40.5% declared social distancing, 62.6% followed coughing etiquette, 69.0% home isolate themselves during COVID-19. 57.9% always used masks in public space, however 74.2% wore masks with uncovered nose. Refugees with higher education, high SES and knowledge level had significantly greater preventive practices scores (P = .002; P = .02; P = .03, respectively). The knowledge and preventive practices level was insufficient. Educational campaigns oriented to raising knowledge and prevention behavior skills should be implemented, especially targeting high-risk groups to avoid spread of COVID-19.
