Just one in five say they have canceled or skipped attending large gatherings – again, on par with last month but significantly lower than in mid-February, on the tail end of the spike in cases due to the Omicron variant (49%).Ģ.

The most practiced behavior? Washing or sanitizing hands more frequently – but fewer than half report doing this (45%).

Among this group, few have taken extra steps to avoid a COVID-19 infection prior to their trip.

Half report taking a vacation or trip in the past three months.

Nearly four in ten Americans say someone they know has been reinfected with COVID-19 in the past few weeks (38%).

This equates to roughly 7% of the total adult population in the U.S., or roughly 18.5 million Americans who have had the virus since July 2022. Among these people, 5% have been infected this month, and 10% say their most recent brush with the virus was last month.

More than two years after initial stay-at-home orders began, the latest Axios/Ipsos Coronavirus Index finds that half of American adults have had, or believe they have had, COVID-19 at some point since the pandemic began.
