SINGAPORE - People here have been socialising less and working more since the circuit breaker last year, a survey has found.
It noted that 61 per cent of the 1,000 respondents said they now socialise less frequently with those outside their immediate family than before the restrictions were put in place in April last year.
Forty-four per cent also reported that their social circles outside of their immediate family had shrunk over the past year.
And while 20 per cent said they socialise with their immediate family more frequently nowadays, 23 per cent said they do so less frequently.
The online poll of residents aged 16 and over, which was commissioned by The Straits Times, noted that 27 per cent reported growing closer to their family, while 7 per cent said they were no longer as close.
