Savings / emergency fund

Ever since I left my financially abusive ex I did my best to build up a small pot of savings for an emergency fund.
Just enough to maybe help things tick along a few months should i be out of work.

Has this pandemic affected peoples mindsets on savings and financial security?

If you had emergency savings before do you see them lasting you out? (My main worry right now)

And would you potentially be planning to keep a larger emergency fund once this is over just in case?

At the moment I am financial better off. I am wfh so still being paid my normal salary but not spending money on petrol/socialising/shopping so am able to save that.

I know I am very lucky to be in this position but I don't know how long it will last or whether my job will be safe at the end of all this so it is nice to be building up a small emergency fund, which is something I reviously didn't have.
