It involved 120 Indonesians who used official COVID-19 websites. The data were analyzed using the multiple regression analysis.FindingsThis research found that intention to use official COVID-19 websites is significantly and positively affected by the quality of the website, attitude and subjective norm. PBC does not influence intention to use official COVID-19 websites.Research limitations/implicationsThis research was only conducted in the context of Indonesians. Furthermore, a convenience sampling technique was applied. Future research should be done in a different context with larger samples to test the generalization of this research's findings.Practical implicationsTo improve intention to use official COVID-19 websites, people must be directed to have a positive attitude toward the website.
