More and more people believe that Norway was ill-prepared for the pandemic, survey shows
Three out of four Norwegians believe that Norway was not prepared well enough to handle a pandemic before the coronavirus crisis occurred.
Only 18% of respondents in a new survey think the country was prepared well enough, while the rest are uncertain. One year ago, 33% believed the preparedness was sufficient.
“Although Norway has fared much better in the pandemic than most countries, Norwegians are more skeptical this year than last year about how well Norway was prepared to handle a pandemic,” senior adviser Nora Clausen in Opinion noted.
At the same time, 64% of respondents said that they trust the information provided by the government, which is an increase of 3% from June. 11% percent do not trust the information from the government, while the rest are insecure.
Furthermore, 68% trust the information provided by the health authorities – an increase of 2% from June. 20% do not trust the information provided by the Norwegian health authorities.
