International Survey on Coronavirus

Many governments are currently implementing measures to help contain and slow down the spread of COVID-19. This dashboard provides an aggregated view of what people around the world do and believe.

Note: Figures only show countries with at least 200 respondents each. Data collected between March 20th and April 6th 2020. All averages are weighted by country-population age and gender (weighting in terms of income and education to be added soon)
