What are Indians worrying about during Covid-19 pandemic

According to YouGov, the new coronavirus wave in India has led to heightened worry about health while decreasing worry about finances.
In a recent survey among 1,500 urban Indians, around two-thirds said they worried about friends or family becoming seriously sick or dying, up from 56 per cent in the first wave in May 2020.

Just as many said that they worried about their finances being severely affected, down from 71 per cent last year.
The worry about the Covid-19 pandemic having negative long-term effects on society remained consistently high and has been shared by almost three-quarters of Indians in the last year.
Worry about oneself becoming ill or dying as a result of Covid-19 ranked just below worry about friends and family, but rose more steeply from last year, up more than 40 per cent.
The survey also included questions about job loss and education.
At 54 per cent, fewer people worried about being out of work than worried about financial repercussions as a whole. 58 per cent worried about their children’s education suffering, up from 50 per cent in May 2020.

India reported 1,27,510 fresh Covid-19 cases, the lowest in 54 days, while the daily positivity rate dropped to 6.62 per cent, according to the Union health ministry data updated on Tuesday.
With the fresh cases, India's tally of coronavirus cases rose to 2,81,75,044.
The Covid-19 death toll climbed to 3,31,895 with 2,795 fresh fatalities, the lowest reported in 35 days, and the active cases were recorded below 20 lakh after 43 days, the data updated at 8 am showed.
