Abstract
This is a survey about what Norwegians thought and ment about clossing down due to the Corona crisis. The survey took place the actual day Norway closed down and in the days after. On Thursday the 12th of March, the first Covid-19 death occurred in Norway. The strictest peacetime measures were implemented. Schools and universities closed. There was an increase in hoarding in many shops with some empty shelves, many places empty of toilet paper. On the same day, SIFO's questionnaire on consumer relations was put into the field (web survey), and over the next five days the form was answered by 1,001 respondents taken from Norstat AS's web panel in the age group 15 to 80 years. The main purpose of the study was initially to investigate hoarding in the days when the corona crisis took hold in Norway. More specifically, among other things, it has been investigated how many people would manage with food if they had to be quarantined, and questions have been asked about freedom of movement and the respondents' trust in the authority's advice.
