  • Over the holiday period, 34% of Canadians said they visited family/friends who live outside their home rarely (once), 12% said they did so occasionally (2-3 times), and 2% said they did so often (more than three times).

THE COVID-19 RESPONSE: SATISFACTION AND A VACCINE

  • Canadians’ overall satisfaction with the measures put in place by the federal government to fight the COVID-19 pandemic (62%) is at its lowest point since March 23, 2020.
  • 71% of Canadians and 53% of Americans plan to get a COVID-19 vaccine when one approved by Health Canada/the FDA is available (representing an increase of 5 percentage points among both groups since December 14, 2020).
