According to a survey carried out in the UK in November 2020, 54 percent of respondents supported strict coronavirus measures remaining in place for Christmas, while 33 percent felt restrictions should be eased for a few days for Christmas even if that means stricter rules are needed to be reapplied in January. The highest support for restrictions to remain strict over the festive period is found in the older age groups.
