  text: The containment of COVID-19 critically hinges on individuals’ behavior. We
    investigate how individuals react to variations in COVID-19 reporting. Using a
    survey, we elicit individuals' perceived infection risk given various COVID-19
    metrics (e.g., confirmed cases, reproduction rate, or case-fatality ratio). We
    proxy individuals' risk perception with their willingness to pay for the participation
    in everyday life and amusements events. We find that participants react to different
    COVID-19 metrics with varying sensitivity. We observe a saturation of sensitivity
    for several measures at critical limits used in the political discussion, making
    our results highly relevant for policy makers in their efforts to direct individuals
    to adhere to hygienic etiquette and social distancing guidelines.
