People go out despite coronavirus symptoms

More than 50,000 people were asked about their opinion of the corona measures and whether they adhered to them. Most said they agreed with the measures, but 80 percent said they would go outside with symptoms of the coronavirus, such as a cold or fever.

Off to work

40 percent of those questioned went to work with complaints. Only 12 percent of people had themselves tested for the virus.


Many people have not yet been tested because they do not know when exactly this is allowed (read here how it works). They find the conditions unclear, RIVM reports. Many people also blame the complaints on other causes, such as hay fever.

Stay at home and test

RIVM calls on people to stay at home with complaints, however minimal, and to have them tested immediately. If people get tested quickly, many infections can be prevented, says the RIVM.
