France new lockdown today8/20/2023 ![]() During the last decade, the relationship between the French public and health authorities has become complicated, especially when it comes to prevention and the degree of coercion that could be deemed socially acceptable. In the present study, we would like to address this issue by examining the case of France. Such studies also highlighted the psychological impact of quarantine, which was confirmed recently by a nationwide study conducted in China on February 2020. Previous studies suggest that, in a pandemic context, populations would be likely to comply with mitigation measures but would be challenged to do so if their income or job were threatened, and also needed to be reminded about the collective benefits of quarantine measures. clinical severity, extent of transmission and infection, treatment options ): how would the public react to such stringent measures across different sociocultural contexts?. For public health decision-makers, this strategy has added one more type of uncertainty to an already long list of crucial unknowns (e.g. Europe was declared the “epicenter” of the global COVID− 19 pandemic by the World Health Organisation on March 13th, and many European countries opted for restrictive mass quarantines, especially in the five countries which reported the highest COVID− 19 death tolls: Italy, Spain, France, the United Kingdom and Belgium. As a result, 1 month later billions of people worldwide were living under lockdown measures. In March 2020, as the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID− 19) pandemic was spreading across the globe, an increasing number of countries implemented unprecedented mitigation measures in order to slow it down.

However, it appeared as a stopgap measure due to a lack of alternatives, and a large majority acknowledged its heavy drawbacks. Most respondents supported the current lockdown. ResultsĪfter 10 days of lockdown, there were already significant consequences regarding respondents’ living conditions and mental health. We used a cluster analysis to obtain contrasted attitudinal profiles, and logistic regressions to investigated which factors were associated to these profiles. A quota sampling method was applied to achieve a sample of 1012 respondents. ![]() MethodsĪ cross-sectional online survey was carried out 10 days after the nationwide lockdown (from March 27th to March 29th 2020), among a representative sample of the mainland French population aged 18 and over. Our aims were threefold: assessing some aspects of their impact on French’s daily living conditions investigating their attitudes toward the lockdown investigating the factors associated with these attitudes. But how populations did react to these measures? We examined the case of France. In March 2020, as the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID− 19) pandemic was spreading across the globe, many countries have implemented unprecedented lockdown measures.
