The Briefing Room - Covid-19: are we still following the rules?

Download Covid-19: are we still following the rules?

As more restrictions are put in place regarding who we can meet and where we can go, to what extent are we following the rules?

Is there any evidence of fatigue among the British public when it comes to adhering to government guidance designed to stop the spread of Covid-19?

David Aaronovitch looks at the latest restrictions put in place around the UK and maps our behaviour since lockdown was first introduced back in March.

What determines whether someone complies with the guidance or not? Will bigger fines encourage more people to fall in line? And to what extent do we actually understand what is being asked of us?
