Figure 3

Perceived risks from COVID-19 across the four waves of the study. Barplots show the distribution of responses to the four items (with percentages). Boxplots show the interquartile range (IQR; responses between the 25th and 75th percentiles); the black line within each box indicates the median value. Lower and upper whiskers extend from the hinge to the smallest and largest values within \(1.5 \times IQR\). Plot on the right shows COVID-19 infection reported in Germany over the study waves (rolling 7-day averages of daily reported COVID-19 cases). For wordings of the risk items, see Supplementary Table B1.
