The survey was conducted in December 2020, targeting 12 people living in the three affected prefectures of Iwate, Miyagi, and Fukushima, as well as Tokyo and Hiroshima prefectures, and asked about the degree of stress caused by corona.
それによると、高いストレスを受けている人の割合は岩手県14.9％、宮城県19.6％、福島県19.5％、東京都13.7％、広島県15.0％。新型コロナウイルス感染拡大前の2019年に厚生労働省が実施した同種の調査では、岩手県11.6％、宮城県11.3％、福島県10.8％、東京都10.8％、広島県10.1％で、5都県ともコロナ禍でストレスが高まっているが、宮城、福島両県の高まりが特に目立っている。
In both Miyagi and Fukushima prefectures, 22.9 to 23.6% of the respondents answered "I don't think so at all" or "I don't think so much" when asked "Do you think people can be trusted in general?"On the other hand, the other three prefectures were as low as 3 to 14.0%, indicating that both Miyagi and Fukushima prefectures have little trust in local residents.
The relocation rate after the earthquake is 5.7% in Iwate prefecture, while it is 9.1% in Miyagi prefecture and 9.3% in Fukushima prefecture.As a result, the research group suspects that the ties with the local people are weakened and the stress of the corona is strongly felt.
