In May 2020, a survey carried out in the United Kingdom found that there was little faith in the British public to use common sense when meeting relatives during the Coronavirus lockdown. 27 percent of respondents were very confident in the people they know to use common sense with regards to the lockdown guidance, but only seven percent were very confident in the common sense of the wider British public.
