Many policy analyses on COVID-19 have been focusing on what kind of policies are implemented to contain the spread of COVID-19. What seems equally important to explore are the social and political consequences of the confinement policies. Does the public support strict confinement policies? What are the social, political, and psychological consequences of the confinement policies? The question of how legitimate a policy is among the public is at the core of democratic theory. Its relevance also stems from the expected consequences of public support on behavior: The more someone supports a policy, the more someone is likely to follow the policy even if the policy is not strictly enforced. In this paper, we will focus on Germany, briefly summarize the main policies during the first 6 weeks of confinement and then explore political attitudes, risk perceptions, and the social consequences of the lockdown.
许多关于新冠疫情的政策分析都聚焦于实施了哪些政策来遏制新冠病毒的传播。同样值得探讨的似乎是封锁政策的社会和政治后果。公众是否支持严格的封锁政策？封锁政策的社会、政治和心理后果是什么？一项政策在公众中具有多大合法性的问题是民主理论的核心。其相关性还源于公众支持对行为产生的预期后果：一个人对一项政策支持得越多，即使该政策没有得到严格执行，这个人也越有可能遵守该政策。在本文中，我们将聚焦于德国，简要总结封锁头六周的主要政策，然后探讨政治态度、风险认知以及封锁的社会后果。
