## Abstract
Abstract Public compliance with social distancing policy is necessary to slow down the spread of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID‐19). One of the factors that contribute to compliance with social distancing policy is awareness of COVID‐19. This study aimed to examine the relationship between awareness of COVID‐19 and compliance with social distancing policy. The study used an online survey through Google Form to 404 respondents aged 18–63 years. The data were collected by using awareness on the COVID‐19 scale and compliance with the social distancing scale. The data were analyzed using the Spearman correlation and Kruskal–Wallis, followed by Mann–Whitney U with Bonferroni correction. The awareness of COVID‐19 was significantly and positively associated with compliance with social distancing order. Based on demographic variables found that the awareness was significantly higher in postgraduates. The awareness of COVID‐19 was also significantly higher in working participants. The compliance with social distancing order was found higher in women. The study's primary result is that the awareness of COVID‐19 positively correlates with public compliance on social distancing order. In particular, there is a need to provide means and interventions to raise public awareness of this challenging situation.
