This report by Dr Mathew Mathews, Syafiq Suhaini, Dr Mike Hou, and Fiona Phoa presents findings on Singaporeans’ attitudes on living with COVID-19 as an endemic disease in Singapore. The present report is based on IPS’ survey panel which was launched since April 2020 to investigate the impact of COVID-19 on the lives of Singaporeans, and specifically focuses on key findings from the July to November 2021 period. The sample size in each of the 12 waves averaged 500 respondents, representative of the national population’s gender and race profile.
Notably, the paper discusses Singaporeans’ perceptions towards governance and the political leadership during the fluctuations in COVID-19 infections in Singapore during that period, as well as how various groups in society have been adjusting to living with COVID-19. Key indicators include our people’s confidence in resuming social and economic activities, as well as trust and confidence in how Singapore might win the fight against COVID-19. Findings from the present waves of analyses provide a better understanding of how the Singapore population evaluates governance and living with a prolonged health crisis. Through the report, the researchers hope to better understand how Singapore can approach and implement the strategy of living with COVID-19 more effectively.
