Poll: With Auckland back in alert level 3 lockdown, are you becoming more complacent when it comes to following the rules?
Kiwis may become complacent and start to ignore government guidance if lockdowns become more frequent, according to experts.
Auckland moved back into a week-long level 3 lockdown on Sunday after two fresh community cases of Covid-19 were discovered.
But University of Auckland associate professor Susanna Trnka says if people no longer feel a sense of urgency they will be less compelled to follow the rules.
"During the first lockdown it was understood that extraordinary times require extraordinary measures,” the social anthropologist said.
"But as it becomes lockdown two, three and four, the sense of the urgency has shifted and isn't so palpable."
Senior lecturer Sarah Cowie, who is an expert on psychology and behaviour, said it was "certainly a possibility" that people could become more complacent during recurring lockdowns.
“There's evidence from places overseas that have been flung in and out of lockdown that people do become a little bit more complacent the more you have,” she said.
“If we are doing things in line with level 3 and not seeing the benefits of that, it might feel discouraging."

HI EVERYONE❗
Would you like to know what the future has in store for you ? A new romance perhaps ? Moving house ? Different job ? Would you like to receive a message from a loved one who has passed ?
Interested ? Then come along to our next meeting, this Wednesday, February 11th, 7:30pm start, in The Theosophical Society Hall, 9e, Annalise Place, off Forest Glen, off Puriri Avenue, Orewa. There is a car park next to the hall. We finish around 9pm.
We are "The Hibiscus Spiritual Awakening and Healing Centre", a non-profit organisation run by friendly volunteers, and we ask for only $5 each please. Meetings are held fortnightly, with a different medium each time. It's always nice to see that people new to us are often chosen for a reading on their first visit.
In a warm, pleasant relaxing atmosphere, people receive amazing, enlightening, and very comforting messages, as well as good advice. Often, the medium will provide evidence by giving small details that the medium could not possibly have known.
Look us up on Facebook. Satisfy your curiosity by coming along and checking us out. It will be a revelation !
And, whether you are young, or not so young,
ALL ARE WELCOME❗
