+# Measuring Shifts in Attitudes Towards COVID-19 Measures in Belgium Using Multilingual BERT
+[Blog post »](https://people.cs.kuleuven.be/~pieter.delobelle/attitudes-towards-covid-19-measures/?utm_source=huggingface&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=corona_tweets)   · [paper »](http://arxiv.org/abs/2104.09947)
+
+We categorized several months worth of these Tweets by topic (government COVID measure) and opinion expressed. Below is a timeline of the relative number of Tweets on the curfew topic (middle) and the fraction of those Tweets that find the curfew too strict, too loose, or a suitable measure (bottom), with the number of daily cases in Belgium to give context on the pandemic situation (top).
