Coronavirus (COVID-19) - impact on wellbeing: survey summary
This summary contains key findings from wave two of a telephone survey we commissioned to better understand the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on people in Scotland including on work and finances, neighbourhood support, personal wellbeing, and behaviour changes.
Experiences of COVID
5% reported having had Coronavirus themselves since March 2020.
30% of all respondents had self-isolated since March, most often because they or someone in their household had symptoms.
Loneliness was the most commonly reported issue by those who had self-isolated, followed by difficulties getting food or medicine, and loss of income from work.
