The emergence of the novel COVID-19 has made pandemic preparedness a crucial issue for public health worldwide. A little is known about people behaviour in a pandemic situation. Such knowledge is however critical. Understanding the associated psychological and behavioural responses is vital for future intervention development. During the period of Lockdown Stage, from 25th March to 14th April 2020 in India, a survey was conducted among 700 people in Delhi NCR and Haryana state, to explore changes in their psychological and behavioural responses to the COVID-19 virus epidemic based on Protection Motivation Theory (PMT) which distinguishes two phases, namely a threat appraisal and a coping appraisal is applied . Further infected people should be isolated to minimize the spread of pandemic diseases. Therefore, the factors related to self-isolation (SI) should not be neglected, and it is important to investigate the factors leading the infected (or possibly infected) people to choose to self-isolate. For this purpose, the theory of planned behaviour (TPB) is used for providing conceptual framework for SI when facing a pandemic risk and a regression method is applied to investigate how attitude (ATT), subjective norms (SN), and perceived behavioural control (PBC) influence SI when facing a pandemic emergency. The results of this study provide relevant information that promotes theoretical understanding of psychological and behavioural intentions of people and enables us to shape future intervention development
