Most countries worldwide have taken restrictive measures and called on their population to adopt social distancing behaviours to contain the spread of the COVID-19 pandemic. At a time when several European countries are releasing their lockdown measures, new uncertainties arise regarding the further evolution of a crisis becoming multifaceted, as well as the durability of public determination to face and contain it. In this context, the sustained social efficacy of public health measures will depend more than ever on the level of acceptance across populations called on to temporarily sacrifice daily freedoms, while economic insecurity grows and social inequalities become more blatant. We seek to develop a framework for analysing how the requirements of 'social distancing' can be reconciled with the conditions that allow for the maintaining, or even strengthening, of social cohesion, mutual solidarity, and a sense of collective efficacy, throughout the crisis. To reach this goal, we propose a summary of relevant findings and pragmatic policy principles derived from them.
全球大多数国家都采取了限制措施，并呼吁民众采取保持社交距离的行为来控制 COVID-19 疫情的传播。在一些欧洲国家开始放松封锁措施的时候，这场危机变得更加复杂，其未来发展充满了新的不确定性，公众应对和控制这场危机的决心的持久性也存在不确定性。在这种情况下，公共卫生措施的持续社会效力将比以往任何时候都更加依赖于被要求暂时放弃日常自由的民众的接受程度，而经济不安全感正在增加，社会不平等现象也更加明显。我们试图构建一个分析框架，探讨如何在整个危机期间，协调“保持社交距离”的要求与保持甚至增强社会凝聚力、相互团结和集体效能的条件。为此，我们总结了相关研究结果，并提出了从中得出的务实政策原则。
