In Indonesia at the end of 2020, COVID-19 cases were increasing and predicted to continue, as Indonesia had not yet passed the peak of the pandemic curve. The government had implemented mobility restrictions to reduce exposure to COVID-19. However, there is still a lack of studies in Indonesia that have assessed the risks of COVID-19 transmission based on people’s daily activities. This study aimed to identify the risk of people getting COVID-19 based on their daily activities. This study used a cross-sectional study design. It took 315 respondents under non probability sampling from September to October 2020. The data were analyzed using thechi-square test with α 0.05. This study showed that the risk percentage of people being infected with COVID-19 based on their daily activities was 15.56% at low risk, 63.81% at moderate-low risk, 17.14% at moderate risk, and 3.9% at moderate-high risk. Factors that were significantly related to the risk of getting COVID-19 in terms of daily activities were biological sex, attitude, and COVID-19 preventive behavior. The conclusion of this study was that the assessment of the risk of getting COVID-19 could be derived from daily activities carried out during the peak of the pandemic.
