UCL research finds less than a third of UK population understand Covid-19 rules These updates are republished press releases and communications from members of the Science|Business Network Fewer than 1 in 3 people (29.1%) say that they ‘completely’ understand the current UK Covid-19 lockdown rules, find UCL researchers as part of the Covid-19 Social Study. This is at its lowest level since November 2020, when just 1 in 5 said they ‘completely’ understood the rules, and down on the peak of 35.2% which was reached in February 2021. Despite this, ‘majority’ understanding of the rules remains high, with just under four fifths (79.2%) of people saying they understand the majority of lockdown rules. Over 9 in 10 (91%) of people also say they are complying with the ‘majority’ of lockdown rules.
