Attitudes about COVID-19 Lockdown among General Population, France, March 2020

Patrick Peretti-Watel et al. Emerg Infect Dis. 2021 Jan.

Abstract

Because the effectiveness of a coronavirus disease lockdown in curbing coronavirus disease spread depends on public support, acquiring real-time information about the way populations reacted to the lockdown is crucial. In France, such public support remained fragile among low-income persons, probably because the lockdown exacerbated preexisting social inequalities and conflicts.

Keywords: COVID-19; France; SARS-CoV-2; coronavirus disease; lockdown; respiratory infections; severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2; social inequalities; viruses; zoonoses.
