As a follow-up to the first phase of research published by « MENASSAT »’s team last May, we published a second one that presents some of the results of the next phase of the research on the same topic « Morrocans and Covid-19 ».

In terms of methodology, this second part of the research has been accomplished, following the same thematic as the first step. Thus, keeping the exploratory and quantitative aspect of the research through relying on the questionnaire as a research tool.

The goal of this study consists on exploring and analyzing the transformations and changes that occured in the period of Covid-19, on the knowledge, the representations, the attitudes and the practices of a morrocan sample. Our investigation took place during a period between two phases : the first one is marked by the state’s sanitary emergency declaration and the lockdown  which represented an unusual context for the respondents. The second phase consists of the extension and the tightening of the management measures by the public authorities. These measures which undoubtedly  influenced  in a way or another the representations, the attitudes and practices throughout the daily life.

Here comes the importance, or even the necessity, of accomplishing this second phase of research, to follow the dynamic of these effects and transformations, by using the online questionnaire,  as an exceptional tool imposed by exceptional circumstances, to collect information and data . While keeping a big part of the questionnaire’s content that has been  used during the first step, this second questionnaire was enriched by new questions  more adapted to the context of the second wave of investigation.

The respondents have been solicited to fill the questionnaire during the period from May 12th to  June 4th, thus giving a sample composed of 2 392 individuals. These reflect widely the geographic and social diversity in Morroco. However, the electronic shape of the form means that the highest rate of respondents goes to students.

The most important sociological characteristics of the sample are as follows :

- The sample is balanced in terms of gender: 52% of men and 48% of women ;

- It is young as the age group is 16-49 years old constitutes 83% of the respondents ;

- It is marked by the predominance of the townspeople : 64% against 25% of rurals ;

- The sample is active and productive as more than 50% of the people investigated exercise a professional activity ;

- A bit more than half of the respondants are married and live in separate houses, with all what this entails in terms of familial and socio-economic responsabilities ;

-27.2% of the individuals surveyed know at least one person infected or passed away because of Covid-19.

-The sample is representative of most of the regions of the kingdom, and despite the differences, it clearly reflects the demographic and economic weight of each of them.
