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, 16 November and Monday, 22 November. Is updated every three weeks.

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.
5,432 people participated in the survey between 16 November and 22 November.
'Wear a face mask on public transport' is the basic rule with the highest support (96%) and has a compliance of 83%.
The basic rule with the highest support is 'Cough and sneeze into your elbow' (90%).
This table shows the percentage of people who comply to the basic rules and the percentage of people who support the basic rules. The table also shows whether this percentage increases, decreases or stays the same compared to the previous measurement.
