Close quarters Omicron
The results of a national survey released today by Maru Public Opinion finds four-in-ten (38%) Canadians who admit to knowing someone in their family or circle of friends who has contracted the COVID-19 virus in the last ten days. This compares to virtually the same number (37%) who said so a week ago, and one-in-ten (11%) who volunteered this knowledge just before Christmas. Putting this wildfire contagion in perspective, the number of Canadians who have acknowledged this awareness on a week over week basis since December 20, 2021, is up a whopping twenty-seven (27) percentage points
