WASHINGTON, D.C. -- As the national COVID-19 curve has flattened in the U.S., fewer Americans are concerned about being exposed to the virus while receiving necessary medical treatment.
Although 64% of Americans are very (22%) or moderately (42%) concerned, this marks a 20-percentage-point drop from late March/early April.The latest data are from an online, probability-based Gallup Panel survey conducted May 14-24.
Americans' concern about COVID-19 exposure while getting medical treatment was previously tracked March 28-April 6. Whereas Americans have become much less likely to say they are very concerned between the two field periods, there has been no appreciable change among those who are moderately concerned.
