PUBLIC compliance with the coronavirus lockdown guidance and confidence in the government’s handling of the crisis have hit an all-time low,  a damning report revealed today.

Over the past two weeks, fewer people have followed the government’s rules to slow the spread of Covid-19, according to the University College London (UCL) social study of more than 90,000 adults.

The survey’s timescale includes when news broke that PM Boris Johnson’s senior adviser, Dominic Cummings, had flouted lockdown guidance by driving 260 miles from London to Durham.
