COVID-19 (COV)

COV is offered as a theme module for the second half of the 2020 collection year and data is collected from all provinces.

This module collects information about experiences during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Respondents are asked about their mental health during the pandemic compared to their mental health before the pandemic. Respondents are also asked about the precautions they have been taking to protect themselves or others from COVID-19; if they have experienced symptoms of COVID-19 since the beginning of the pandemic; if they have ever been tested using a nasal or throat swab, and whether the test result was positive.

Finally, respondents are asked about the likelihood of choosing to get a COVID-19 vaccine.
