Of the people who do not see anything in wearing a mouth mask, the vast majority say they would rather avoid such public spaces. 25 percent of all respondents say so.

More people are afraid of becoming infected with the corona virus than last summer. In July, 9 percent of the Dutch still thought that the chance of contracting the virus was high, now that percentage has doubled.
