Nearly 80 percent of Russians agreed a total quarantine would be correct given the risk of the coronavirus (COVID-19) outbreak if their government decided to announce it in cities and towns with a large number of confirmed cases of the virus. Approximately one third of respondents said that COVID-19 posed a very high or high threat to Russia in the IPSOS survey on February 28-29, 2020. To compare, on February 7-9, 2020, this threat perception was measured at seven percent lower.
