Fourth national lockdown is likely to be imposed over the winter, half of Britons believe

Another national lockdown is likely to be imposed over the winter, half of Britons believe with most expecting a “significant rise” in Covid-19 infections in the coming months. A poll for i by Redfield & Wilton Strategies suggests that three in five voters would back any decision to lock down the country for a fourth time – even though the Government has insisted it will go to any lengths to avoid doing so. There is broad approval of the Government’s current handling of the pandemic, with 46 per cent saying they are happy with how things are going and 29 per cent disagreeing.
