The new survey reveals that the percentage of Americans who are concerned about personal and public health continues to rise.
For instance, 72% report that COVID-19 has made them more concerned about the safety and health of themselves and their families. The same percentage of respondents also said they worry about the second wave of COVID-19 later in 2020.
Only 13% of Americans think that the economy will bounce back to where it was prior to COVID-19.
At the same time, 84% of them revealed they would still like to work remotely at least occasionally.
In addition, Americans are resuming some daily activities. This way, 27% of respondents surveyed have already visited restaurants and bars.
Although, 35% don’t plan on going to shopping centers or malls this year. 66% and 64% said they wouldn’t go to an amusement park or a live sporting event this year, respectively.
We’ve reported that remote work has positively impacted productivity in terms of reducing costs of both employers and employees, lowering traffic and pollution level.
