Key Points

Adoption of protective measures and behaviors

• Adherence to physical distancing recommendations declined after the first lockdown was lifted. At the same time, risky social behaviors increased. A return to more protective behaviors took hold with the second lockdown.

• An increase in physical distancing indicators was observed during the second lockdown, which was implemented without interrupting school activities and while maintaining many professional activities; however, the levels of these indicators remain below those reached during the first lockdown.

• Lower adherence to preventive measures (hygiene and physical distancing) was observed among men, people under 35, those not at risk of developing severe COVID-19, and people with low health literacy.

Mental Health

• Depressive disorders affected approximately 20% of participants from Bourgogne-Franche-Comté in the CoviPrev surveys during lockdown periods, compared to only 10% outside of these periods.

• Sleep problems reported by participants in Bourgogne-Franche-Comté affect 60% to 65% of individuals, with no obvious link to lockdown periods.
