In a survey conducted since March 21. MSB has investigated people’s concerns, trust in authorities, and behavior change during the crown pandemic. A total of 5000 people have answered the questions and in the last four days the authority has seen a change in people’s behavior.
– The picture of a more relaxed approach to the recommendations being implemented is in line with what the county administrative boards have told us, says Svante Werger.
Decrease by 5-10 percent
The question asked is “Have you made any of the following changes to reduce the risk of being exposed to the corona virus?” Respondents were asked if they had followed the news more than usual, to a lesser extent participated in social activities outside the home, avoided public places where there are many people, traveled less in public daily life and, to a lesser extent, participated in leisure and exercise activities.
The last four days, from May 7 to 10, indicate five to ten percent less than the previous week, that they have changed their behavior.
– It is good to follow it to get that indication. So our message is to go on and on, because the recession we see depends on people not changing their behavior to a great extent, but sticking to what we have done so far in many parts of society, says Anders Wallensten, deputy state epidemiologist at the Public Health Authority.
Delay in statistics
On Monday, 31 new deaths were reported among people infected with the crown, but Anders Wallensten reiterates that there is always a delay in reporting after the weekend.
– We cannot draw any conclusions from today’s data. But we think that if you look back over the past few weeks, it really seems to be going in the right direction.
The message: “Wait”
Decreasing numbers may be a reason for people to have a more relaxed attitude towards restrictions, combined with resistance pressure.
– It is a risk with all those things, which over time, becomes more and more difficult, and maybe even in combination with the numbers they are starting to look better, then maybe you will relax. But it is too early to do that. Our message is: wait until you let others know.
