According to a survey carried out in Great Britain in April 2020, 32 percent of Brits think that the government should start to ease lockdown measures only when the number of deaths each day has fallen substantially. A further 18 percent want the government to loosen restrictions when tests are easily available to check if people have got the virus or not. On the other hand three percent think the government should immediately lift the lockdown restrictions.
The latest number of cases in the UK can be found here. For further information about the coronavirus pandemic, please visit our dedicated Facts and Figures page.
