Consumers avoiding stores due to social distancing guidelines 2021

Although restrictions due to the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic have become less strict in most countries, a significant share of consumers tends to avoid brick and mortar stores. According to a poll from February 2021, people having the habit of specifically avoiding public interactions and/or adhering to social distancing guidelines were 48 percent in Great Britain, and 44 percent in Denmark. Polish and French consumers seemed the least concerned, as only 25 percent of the surveyed respondents still avoided physical stores because of the pandemic.

尽管由于新冠病毒（COVID-19）大流行导致的限制在多数国家已有所放宽，但相当一部分消费者倾向于避免前往实体店铺。根据2021年2月的一项民意调查，在避免公共互动及/或遵守社交距离指南的习惯中，英国占48%，丹麦占44%。波兰和法国的消费者对此似乎最为淡然，仅有25%的被调查受访者仍因疫情而避免前往实体店铺。
