A football match goes on in Bukit Mertajam, Penang, in this filepic, despite the movement control order having started that day. A study found that 52.4% of those aged 18 to 31 failed to observe social distancing guidelines.

A new American study has revealed some of the reasons why people have failed to maintain social distancing guidelines during the current Covid-19 outbreak to prevent its spread.

Carried out by researchers at Stanford University, the new study surveyed 20,734 people using questionnaires posted on Twitter and Facebook, as well as the American neighbourhood social networking service NextDoor.
