Are you a viral sensation or covidiot? Test your lockdown knowledge with our quiz
CONFUSED by the government advice on coronavirus? You’re not alone.
Half of us do not understand the current lockdown rules, a new study has found.
Researchers at University College London revealed that people know LESS about the advice now than they did at the start of the pandemic in March.
During the strictest part of lockdown, 90 per cent said they knew what was expected of them, compared with just 45 per cent now.
With inconsistencies and rules that seem to change by the day, it’s little wonder we can’t keep up.
Take this quiz, put together by Catriona Graffius, to find out if you a viral sensation or a covidiot. Answers at the bottom of the page.
