That included the inability to pay rent or bills, such as electricity, or afford groceries.<\/p>\n<p>The <a href=\"http:\/\/cemppr.lab.yorku.ca\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><strong>Canadian COVID-19 Social Impacts Survey<\/strong><\/a> looked at risk perceptions, trust, impacts and responses across the country from March 20 to April 12, and received some 2,029 responses. The team includes York Associate Professor <a href=\"https:\/\/health.yorku.ca\/health-profiles\/index.php?dept=&amp;mid=1386877\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><strong>Claudia Chaufan<\/strong><\/a> of the Faculty of Health and Associate Professor Kieran O\u2019Doherty of the University of Guelph. The team has also collaborated with other researchers across Canada, including Associate Professor Patrick Fafard at the University of Ottawa, to help track critical measures over the course of the outbreak.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe report represents the first in a series of rapid dissemination efforts to share our findings with practitioners and decision-makers to support their response to this crisis,\u201d says Kennedy. \u201cOur survey is based on input and needs identified by public health practitioners and aims to support the long-term Canadian response.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Another surprising finding is that compared to influenza, respondents were more concerned about the severity of COVID-19 and the likelihood of many Canadians being affected \u2013 but are less worried about personally getting sick. Some 85 per cent of respondents disagreed that \u201cthe coronavirus will not affect very many people in Canada,\u201d while only two per cent agreed. When asked the same question about influenza on a 2019 survey, 20 per cent agreed. In other words, Canadians are highly concerned about COVID-19 with 94 per cent either agreeing or strongly agreeing that catching the virus can be serious, but only 23 per cent of Canadians believe they are likely to become sick with it.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis is a counter-intuitive finding with important implications for public health agencies. Canadians are worried about the coronavirus in general, but there is a chance that their views of personal risk don\u2019t align with their views of risks to others,\u201d says Kennedy.<\/p>\n<p>The researchers also found 80 to 84 per cent of Canadians support government interventions to mitigate the COVID-19 outbreak, however, less than 60 per cent support mandatory coronavirus vaccinations when available. Broadly supported interventions include cancelling public events, closing places of worship, encouraging people to stay home, mandatory home isolation for potential exposure and closing schools.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIn general, this seems to suggest a relatively high degree of support for collective mitigation actions designed to help the hospitals maintain sufficient capacity,\u201d says Kennedy. \u201cTracking these social dimensions over the long term is critical for informing policy as we attempt to flatten the curve for an extended period of time.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The full report,
