Summary/Abstract: Since the beginning of the Covid-19 pandemic, the willingness to comply with the Covid-19 related public health measures has been crucial. The aim of our paper was to explore the factors related to the declared level of compliance with the anti-pandemic measures in Slovakia. Our analysis is based on three waves of the How are you, Slovakia? survey, carried out at the beginning, in the middle and at the end of 2021. Our findings suggest that demographic factors such as gender, age, and education are important in terms of compliance, but the feeling of being threatened by the coronavirus, trust in scientific institutions, and trust in the government can be even more crucial.
