With movement limited and establishments closed, the arrival of the novel coronavirus pandemic is scaring Brazilians and changing daily life.
Still, the majority of those interviewed by telephone by Datafolha in the past week say they agree with this more severe action.
Official decisions to try to contain the virus are highly accepted: 92% agree with the suspension of classes, 94% approve the ban on international travel, and 91% are in favor of stopping football.
The suspension of religious celebrations is suitable for 82% of respondents.
