Supplementary notes
The original question was phrased as follows:"So far, how was your organization affected by the coronavirus epidemic (COVID-19)?"
The source adds the following notes regarding the methodology: "This report was drafted in early May, following the announcement of the lifting of the emergency state on the 15th of May. However, the data should be interpreted from the perspective of its collection, in the second half of April, when there was no information on a possible relaxation of social distancing measures."
Percentage points +/- 1 percent are probably due to rounding.
