Elevated psychological distress was associated with living in London, underlying medical conditions and practicing non-recommended behaviors. However, no empirical study to date has been conducted on the associations between the WHO non-recommended behaviors and psychological distress. Previous studies showed the association between the COVID-19 with psychological distress in the general population 3, 4 . In our study, elevated psychological distress was highest amongst women, those with a background illness, those at the original epicenter of the outbreak (London) and those who practice at least one and above non-recommended behaviors. In sum, to our knowledge is the first study to empirically examine the association between nonrecommended behaviors during COVID-19 and psychological distress.	./cache/cord-341220-b2u8gswb.txt	./txt/cord-341220-b2u8gswb.txt
