为了解公众对政策制定者为遏制COVID-19而采取的措施的看法，于二零二零年四月首两周对七个欧洲国家的代表性人口样本进行了调查。该研究涉及人们对遏制政策的支持，对COVID-19后果的担忧以及对信息来源的信任。总体而言，公民对政府应对疫情的措施感到满意;但各国和政策措施的认可程度各不相同。在整个欧洲国家，公众舆论的南北分歧是显而易见的。这在侵入性政策措施方面尤其明显，例如用于移动跟踪的移动的数据、经济问题以及对国家政府信息的信任。人们注意到，在各国内部，特别是在各个区域和年龄组之间，人们的态度存在很大差异。研究结果表明，这一流行病是一种压力源，即使在没有直接受到病毒影响的家庭中也会引起健康和经济方面的焦虑。与此同时，各区域和各年龄组的压力负担分布不均。根据收集的数据，我们从遏制阶段吸取教训，并确定了几个见解，可以促进封锁退出策略和未来遏制政策的设计，以便可以预期高水平的合规性。(C)2020作者（S）由爱思唯尔公司出版
To understand the public sentiment toward the measures used by policymakers for COVID-19 containment, a survey among representative samples of the population in seven European countries was carried out in the first two weeks of April 2020. The study addressed people's support for containment policies, worries about COVID-19 consequences, and trust in sources of information. Citizens were overall satisfied with their government's response to the pandemic; however, the extent of approval differed across countries and policy measures. A north-south divide in public opinion was noticeable across the European states. It was particularly pronounced for intrusive policy measures, such as mobile data use for movement tracking, economic concerns, and trust in the information from the national government. Considerable differences in people's attitudes were noticed within countries, especially across individual regions and age groups. The findings suggest that the epidemic acts as a stressor, causing health and economic anxieties even in households that were not directly affected by the virus. At the same time, the burden of stress was unequally distributed across regions and age groups. Based on the data collected, we draw lessons from the containment stage and identify several insights that can facilitate the design of lockdown exit strategies and future containment policies so that a high level of compliance can be expected.
