#stayathome, live online. Austrians are stressed, but emotionally engaged during the Corona-shutdown
During the first week of the Corona shutdown, Austrians tried to adapt to the practical and emotional realities of a spatially limited life: Their main stress factor was the worry of family members and friends getting sick. Internet use increased dramatically during this period, as daily routines of Austrians generally shifted to digital mode. News and entertainment portals as well as home office and communication tools are the clear winners of the Corona shutdown.
News portals, home office tools and online supermarkets are the winners of the Corona shutdown
In the early days of the Corona shutdown, the Austrians rushed to set up their home office and communicate with friends and family. A considerable increase in reach was recorded on the portals of grocery stores, and especially among those who already had functioning delivery services. Retailers without convenient online shopping facilities as well as the travel and tourism sector are among the current losers of the Corona crisis.
