Public attitudes to coronavirus: May summary

Introduction

This report includes some high level findings from recent polling work on public attitudes to the Coronavirus pandemic in Scotland. A report covering earlier survey work was published on May 8^th 2020, and can be found here.

As with the previous report, it is not intended to provide comprehensive analysis of the large amount of polling information available, but rather to draw together findings on some key indicators. The report contains brief descriptions and explanations of the included measures.

The Coronavirus pandemic represents a rapidly changing situation, and the polling surveys have been developed at pace. Results should be interpreted in that context, recognising the limitations of the data sources, detailed below.
