Abstract

The novel coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic has seriously affected countries all over the world. In Japan, a state of emergency has been declared several times in some prefectures. Information related to the spread of infection is provided to the public via central or local government websites and social media accounts. In particular, some prefectural governors have used Twitter accounts to provide information related to the pandemic, and this use of social media has been attracting attention. One of the advantages of Twitter is its ability to disseminate information instantly. In order to prevent the spread of infection, it is desirable to respond to changes in the situation and provide information in a timely manner. In this study, we focused on three Twitter accounts used by prefectural governors in Japan and aimed to clarify users’ reactions to posts (tweets) related to the state of emergency posted from those accounts. We collected quote retweets for the top quote-retweeted tweets posted between January 1, 2020, and July 31, 2021, and classified them as either positive or negative.
