"It might be hard to believe, but four years have now passed since the first
COVID case was confirmed in Australia on January 25 2020. Five days later, the
World Health Organization (WHO) declared a “public health emergency of
international concern”, as the novel coronavirus (later named SARS-CoV-2) began
to spread worldwide.
On March 11 the WHO would declare COVID a pandemic, while around the same time
Australian federal and state governments hastily introduced measures to “stop
the spread” of the virus. These included shutting Australia’s international
borders, closing non-essential businesses, schools and universities, and
limiting people’s movements outside their homes.
I began my project,
Australians’ Experiences of COVID-19, in May 2020. This
research has continued each year to date, allowing me to track how Australians’
attitudes around COVID have changed over the course of the pandemic."
