According to a survey in March 2020, 53 percent of respondents from Canada believed their country was well prepared for the COVID-19 outbreak, whereas only 45 percent of respondents believed their employer was well prepared. The opposite was the case in Japan, where 50 percent of respondents stated their employer was well prepared, but only 27 percent said the same of their country. Of all the countries surveyed, only two - Canada and Germany - had more respondents stating their country was more well prepared than their employer.
