UK: views on COVID-19 restrictions in Christmas 2020

An October 2020 survey conducted in the United Kingdom (UK) showed that half of individuals in the UK would not be bothered if the British government extended the coronavirus restrictions over the Christmas period. Younger individuals seemed more likely to be distressed by restrictions being in place: 23 percent of the respondents in the age group 18-24 stated they would mind if restrictions extended over the holiday season 'a fair amount'.

Supplementary notes

Survey question was phrased by the source as follows: "How much, if at all, would you mind if there are restrictions still in place over the Christmas period (e.g. rules on how many people can meet together or visit each other’s homes etc.)?"

Missing percentage points to 100 percent are probably due to rounding.
