Many people in the streets, teleworking not respected ... this confinement is, for many, much more flexible than that of spring.
Since October 30, announcement of the second confinement put in place to fight the Covid-19 epidemic, 60% of those questioned have violated the confinement at least once, according to this survey carried out by Ifop for Consolab.
This is 27 points more than the first six weeks of the March containment.
The French mainly used travel certificates for reasons other than those indicated (24%), walked beyond the authorized limit of one hour (17%), but also saw members of their family with some or others (23%, 8 points more than in the spring), or friends (20%).
And 9% of those questioned broke the rules to find a partner - or potential partner - sexual, or 3 points more than during the first confinement.

A “feeling of invulnerability” among some of the young people
For François Kraus, director of the political and current affairs pole of Ifop, it is clear that "respect is less strict, fears for health less strong, especially among young people".
There is, he says, a real difference between young and old.
"This
feeling of invulnerability
among some young people, especially those who live alone, means that they will take advantage of the general relaxation of the rules to continue a kind of sociability".
Containment that affects the morale of the French
In addition, this reconfinement hits the morale of the French more strongly: if, in November 2019, they were 16% to declare having “bad morale”, they are today 28%.
During the first confinement, they were 20%.
Sleep is also a victim of this return to confinement: 38% of those questioned report having sleep disorders - a figure that rises to 44% in women.

This psychological dimension is explained, notes François Kraus, by the uncertainty that reigns over the duration of this reconfinement, "because we understand that this could perhaps alter the end of year celebrations and reunions".
But also by the period, conducive to seasonal depressions.
