Statistics South Africa (Stats SA) is appealing to the public to participate in an online survey it launched recently to gauge the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic.<\/p>\n

\u201cAccurate, real-time statistics are of utmost importance in times of crisis,\u201d said Statistician-General Risenga Maluleke. \u201cThese surveys will be used to see how COVID-19 has impacted the population, and will be used by government to inform their strategy going forward. For us to win this fight, the decisions we make must be evidenced-based.\u201d<\/p>\n

COVID-19 and the lock-down will have a multi-dimensional impact. For this reason, the survey will be conducted in three waves.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
Wave<\/strong><\/td>\nFocus<\/strong><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Wave 1<\/td>\nHealth behaviour and perceptions<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

Wave 3<\/td>\nEducation, including home schooling, as well as how people generally spent their time<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n
