A survey held in March 2020 revealed that 37 percent of participating U.S. adults were closely following news about the coronavirus, whereas just three percent said that they were not keeping up with news about the COVID-19 outbreak at all. Adults aged 65 or above were more likely to be following the news regularly, whereas more respondents who were 18 to 29 years old age admitted that they were not keeping up with coronavirus news at all than adults in any other age group.
