Two-thirds of people felt more relaxed about wearing masks in public.
63 percent aren’t as bothered when it comes to regularly washing their hands.
A further 45 percent also say being vaccinated has contributed to making them feel less vulnerable.
A spokesman for Medicspot said: “There is a sense of freedom once you've had the virus.
“People can develop a mindset whereby they think that catching it once means you won’t be at risk of having it again.
“Feelings towards certain restrictions change as we become less worried and more convinced that it won’t happen for a second time.”
The study found four in ten know someone who feels confident about not getting the virus again since they caught it.
And despite just a quarter believing once you’ve had Covid you can no longer get it or any variation of it, 38 percent aren’t worried about testing positive again.
It also emerged 56 percent would still be less worried about if they had it or not due to the longevity of the virus.
