New polling has found that around a fifth of the British public would back the return of Covid measures with 45% saying masks should be mandatory on public transport. GB News has more.
Research from campaign group More In Common polled 2,033 people between November 30th and December 4th asking about if they would back some form of Covid measures.
The question asked was “Currently, there are no legal COVID-19 restrictions in place in the U.K. Thinking of the current health situation in the U.K., would you support or oppose the Government re-introducing each of the following COVID-19 restrictions at the current time?”
Polling revealed 45% supported, with 16% saying they strongly supported, having to wear face masks on public transport, with 8% strongly supporting the Rule of Six, limiting the amount of people who can meet outside.
According to the poll, millennials (aged 25-40) are the most likely to back restrictions with a third of millennials backing closing night clubs, and three in 10 backing re-introducing the Rule of Six.
Gen Z (aged 18-24) were more supportive to the closing of nightclubs than Gen X (aged 41-55) and Baby Boomers (aged 56-74). 31% of Gen Z supported closing nightclubs, with 27% for both Gen X and Baby Boomers,
The Silent Generation (aged 75+) were the least supportive on restrictions on meeting in groups more than six, with just 18% supporting and 78% opposing it.
Closing of restaurants and pubs was supported by 25% of both Gen Z and Millennials. This is compared to 17% for Baby Boomers and just 12% for the Silent Generation.
