TRACKING THE CORONAVIRUS RESULTS FROM A MULTI-COUNTRY POLL March 12-14, 2020
KEY FINDINGS
Public reaction continues to evolve with experience and
proximity to hot spots being major drivers. The public is
becoming more engaged and concerned in countries such as
China and Italy but still remains somewhat distant for those in
North America even though the polling was conducted as social
distancing measures and travel bans became active.
Coronavirus is still seen by most as economic crisis as opposed
to a health crisis, noting that perception of the health risk
increases with proximity to hot spots.
We are seeing increasing levels of concern about personal
financial exposure including employment. Movements in
markets, reactions by governments and other players appear
not to have calmed public concern about economic threat.

© Ipsos | Coronavirus Results Wave 4 Mar 12-15, 2020KEY FINDINGS
There is support for closing borders and for self
quarantining. But broadly this is in theory and not
necessarily personal, particularly outside of hot spots.
Most remain optimistic that things will return to
normal, even in hot spot countries. This despite many
projections indicating the opposite*.
Hoarding is evolving as a real issue with people seeing
shortages driven by behavior, not by supply chain issues.
Counter measures are kicking in and people are taking
steps to cancel plans.

METHODOLOGY
These are the results of an Ipsos survey conducted March 12th to 14th, 2020 on the Global Advisor online platform
among 10,000 adults aged 18-74 in Canada and the United States and 16-74 in Australia, China, France, Germany,
Italy, India, Japan, Russia, Vietnam and the United Kingdom. Where available, tracking results from Wave 3,
conducted February 28-29, February 14-15, and February 7-9 are presented. Sample sizes are consistent wave to
wave.
The sample consists of approximately 1,000 individuals in each country. The samples in Australia, Canada, France,
Germany, Italy, Japan, the U.K. and the U.S. can be taken as representative of these countries’ general adult
population under the age of 75. The sample in China, India, Russia and Vietnam is more urban, more educated
and/or more affluent than the general population and should be viewed as reflecting the views of the more
“connected” segment of the population. The data is weighted so that each market’s sample composition best
reflects the demographic profile of the adult population according to the most recent census data.
Where results do not sum to 100 or the ‘difference’ appears to be +/-1 more/less than the actual, this may be due to
rounding, multiple responses or the exclusion of don't knows or not stated responses. The precision of Ipsos online
polls are calculated using a credibility interval with a poll of 1,000 accurate to +/- 3.5 percentage points. For more
information on the Ipsos use of credibility intervals, please visit the Ipsos website (www.Ipsos.com).
