Slim majority support government lockdowns, restrictions in response to Omicron
OTTAWA — A new poll suggests a slim majority of Canadians support the latest round of lockdowns and other government-imposed restrictions as the Omicron variant continue to fuel an explosion in new COVID-19 infections.
Fifty-six per cent of respondents in the poll conducted by Leger and the Association of Canadian Studies agreed governments are making the right decisions to limit the spread of Omicron and keep the health system from being overrun.
According to Leger Canucks say Die Un-Vaxxed Die!
- More than six-in-ten Canadians support implementing measures specifically related to vaccination status, including:
- Only allowing those who have proof of vaccination to shop in person at malls and retail outlets (excluding grocery stores), government-run liquor and cannabis stores and use public transit
- Creating separate areas in hospitals and clinics specifically for unvaccinated patients
