If the vast majority of French people stayed at their usual residence, 10 percent took refuge in their vacation homes during the second shutdown, according to a survey by France Info and France Bleu published on Monday.

The Odoxa-CGI poll published by France Info and France Bleu shows that around 10 percent of French people left their main residence in October. That represents more than five million people, a million more than during the first shutdown last spring.

It is an “exodus” that has affected mainly the big cities.

Twice as many students returned to their parents’ home: 31 percent in total, 10 points more in the under-25 category than in the first confinement.

As for remote work, only 9 percent of the workforce has respected it full time, which is half that during the first shutdown.

And even if this confinement has been less strict than the first with open schools or the possibility of going out more frequently, the morale of the French is not at its highest point.

Sixteen percent of those surveyed spoke of a deteriorating family climate, a figure 7 points higher compared to spring. Almost half of young people say they are depressed.

Regarding the management of the crisis, even if more French think it has improved, they remain critical of the government. Almost two thirds do not find the government up to the task.
