While the political, economic and social consequences of Covid-19 are undeniable, governments interventions and actions are critical for mobilizing support and compliance. This paper seeks to contribute to the incipient but fast-developing literature investigating the pandemic by examining how infection incidence, governments’ economic relief plan, and democratic procedures affects citizens’ opinions on the governments’ performance, social cohesion and their willingness to comply with prevention measures. Based on a full-factorial survey experiment implemented in 11 countries across Europe, we facilitate internal as well as external validity supporting causal claims.
