Covid-19: are we still following the rules?

The Briefing Room

Available for over a year

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? Contributors: Dominic Casciani, BBC Home Affairs Correspondent Prof Daisy Fancourt, University College London Prof Jocelyn Raude, EHESP French School of Public Health, Rennes Prof Linda Bauld, the University of Edinburgh Team: Richard Fenton-Smith.
