Abstract: Abstract This study investigates the influences of COVID-19 spread at an early stage of the pandemic by focusing the cases in Florida and Ohio. Evidence is provided indicating that if the messages delivered by the national leadership and the local leadership are unified and coordinated with each other (as in Florida), they have a significant impact on the public’s behavoural change or its self-protection effort. Moreover, social learning appears to contribute to effecitve self-protection efforts of the public. These effects are not observed in a state in which mixed messages are sent by the national and local government (Ohio).
