Abstract:

This article presents the results of an opinion poll conducted in Brazil on the perception of social isolation during the COVID-19 pandemic. The questionnaire was prepared on Google Forms, disseminated through social networks, with questions about the socio-economic profile and factors associated with isolation. A non-probabilistic sample was obtained with 16,440 respondents. Data were analyzed using the Stata 13 software. Social interaction was the most affected aspect among people with higher education and income 45.8%, for people with low income and education, financial problems cause a greater impact 35%. Those who practice some physical activity showed lower levels of stress 13%, as well as greater normality in sleep 50.3%. People who reported living in worse habitability conditions reported willingness to remain isolated for less time 73.9%. Among people who are not isolated, 10.7% of the total sample, 75.8% believe that social isolation will reduce the number of victims of COVID-19. We conclude, based on this sample, that the perception about social isolation as a pandemic mitigation action varies according to income, education, age, and sex, but, the majority believes it is the most appropriate control measure and is willing to wait as long as necessary to contribute to the fight against COVID-19.
