A recent survey commissioned by the Canadian Mental Health Association shows that many Ontarians are fearful of a second wave of COVID-19.
83 percent of respondents said that people are becoming too relaxed too quickly, and 84 percent said that others are not following physical distancing guidelines. Additionally, 78 percent said they are fearful of coming in contact with people who are not taking the proper precautions.
The survey also found that 79 percent of respondents are fearful of Ontario going back into lockdown if a second wave hits the province, and 85 per cent are concerned that a second wave will "put us back where we started."
This data comes from a second of three polls Pollara Strategic Insights is conducting on behalf of CMHA Ontario. The first poll conducted and released in May showed that a majority of respondents fear that Ontario is heading for a mental health crisis.
