CORONAVIRUS: OPINION AND REACTION TOPLINE RESULTS FROM A MULTI- COUNTRY POLL WAVE 3 – PUBLIC RELEASE March 3, 2020
People around the world are starting to fear the impact of
COVID-19 and are taking action
• PERSONAL IMPACT: Rise in perceived personal financial impact and those
employed are more likely to foresee an impact on their job.
• About one in four believe that someone close to them will become infected.
• SENSE OF UNPREDICTABILITY: Majorities in each market believe the virus has
reached their country because it is impossible to forecast how the virus will
spread.
• Large majorities support quarantine of cities and towns.
• ACTIONS AND MEASURES: We are seeing signs of stockpiling and avoidance
behaviours.
