Behaviour

Compliance and support

If we stick to the rules we help get corona under control. On this page we summarize the corona measures and the basic rules (such as washing hands and keeping distance) under the term corona rules and give an impression of whether the population follows and supports the rules.

This survey was carried out between Tuesday, 26 April and Monday, 2 May. Is updated every three weeks.

Are we sticking to the coronavirus rules?

Survey of the Dutch public

Every three weeks a survey of a representative sample of the Dutch population is carried out. Survey respondents all answer the same questions about the basic rules that the government has laid down to combat coronavirus. The purpose of the survey is to find out to what extent the public supports and follows these rules. The survey is coordinated and published by RIVM, and carried out by Kantar Public.
