'Friend-shield effect' could increase a false sense of safety and contribute to COVID-19 infections

People may feel less vulnerable and take fewer safety precautions about COVID-19 when they are with, or even just think about, their friends instead of acquaintances or strangers, according to research published by the American Psychological Association.
