This thesis aims to explore the relationship between different infection control strategies during the first year of covid-19 and trust in government. The scope is limited to EU member states. The relationship is analysed with OLS-regression with a host of restriction data and trust controls. The variables are motivated by a theoretical framework constructed from previous theories and research on trust during previous crises where diverse effects on trust are discussed. The relation-ship is also analysed with scatterplots and diagram to illustrate the change in trust in the different EU member states. The results indicate that there is a negative relationship between trust and infection control measures. However, there is noth-ing in this study that provides support for the hypothesis that different strategies affect trust in different ways. Nevertheless this should be further examined in fu-ture studies.
