A recent survey shows just a handful of Canadians still find COVID-19 the top national issue of concern, while inflation rose to be the primary worry.

The Nanos survey, published June 3, finds that just 1.6 percent, or about 17 people out of the 1,070 respondents, believe that COVID-19 is the most important concern for the nation.
