Effects of the coronavirus pandemic on well-being in Great Britain in 2020

As of November 1, 2020, 53 percent of surveyed adults in Great Britain reported that their well-being was being affected by the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic. The share of adults who reported their well-being was being adversely affected also amounted to 53 percent in March as the country was entering its first lockdown, before gradually decreasing to a low of 39 percent in August as the UK began to open up. However, the effects of the crisis have been felt more in recent weeks as the number of cases rose again in the 'second wave' and the country entered a second lockdown for November.
