TORONTO — Canadian youth say they are more concerned about the health of others than their own amid the COVID-19 pandemic, according to new survey results from Statistics Canada.
The survey released Friday found that approximately 87 per cent of youth aged 15 to 30 years are very or extremely concerned about the impact of COVID-19 on the health of vulnerable people. In contrast, only about 21 per cent of those surveyed said they were concerned about their own health.
In addition, about 86 per cent of respondents said they are very or extremely concerned that COVID-19 will overload Canada’s health care system.
