Supplementary notes

This question was phrased by the source as follows: "Hallitus on rajoittanut monin tavoin kansalaisten arkea koronaviruksen leviämisen ehkäisemiseksi. Ovatko toimet olleet mielestäsi sopivia, liian tiukkoja vai liian löyhiä?"

Percentage points exceeding 100 percent are probably due to rounding.
