Information on public views and behaviours during the coronavirus crisis for 11 to 14 March 2022.

Main findings

Perceptions of the threats posed by coronavirus remain at a low level this wave, after falling significantly in previous waves.

The proportion of people only leaving home for essential journeys and people trying to keep two metres away from others when out are at the lowest level recorded by this survey.  

About three quarters of people wear a face covering to protect themselves from COVID, and a third of people in work currently work from home.

The Welsh Government and the NHS are generally seen to be doing a good job, with about two thirds of the Welsh public now saying the Welsh Government is doing a good job at containing the spread of the virus.

Over a third of people are concerned they will not be able to pay their bills one month from now.

Summary of methods

These are selected results from a regular survey tracking public views and behaviours on coronavirus. The study is conducted online by Ipsos MORI with adults in Wales aged 16 to 74. The Welsh Government has funded the survey on a regular basis since March 2020. It is broadly representative at population level, and the data is weighted to reflect the demographic profile of the adult population (in terms of gender and age) according to mid year population estimates. While online panels can have some limitations they do provide rapid turnaround of data in situations such as this.

Likely credibility intervals around the indicators will be in the region of +/- 4% to 5% for the Welsh boosted sample. Given the credibility intervals differences between waves should be interpreted with some caution.
