The COVID-19 emergency challenges our society in an unknown way and citizens experience a substantial change of their daily lives and activities. Our study aims to describe social and health behaviour in a sample of the Swiss population during the COVID-19 epidemic. We use a longitudinal online panel of Swiss residents with online access, aged 18 years or older to describe numerous study outcome indicators covering overall well-being, mental health. By establishing an online information platform, our study findings allow a timely dialogue with health authorities and the public to address (and tackle) public needs during the COVID-19 epidemic, but also for future public health emergencies.
