Opinium’s survey of 2,000 people between Wednesday and Friday last week found widespread opposition as Britons fear they will continue to fear the virus, The Guardian reports.

He found that only 17% of people support reopening of schools, 11% support restaurants, 9% support pubs, and 7% support mass gatherings such as sporting events.

Pollsters said the public’s appetite for lifting the coronavirus blockade is “minuscule,” as the initial deadline for reviewing the measures approaches May 7.

It comes as the death toll in the UK rose to 28,131 yesterday as Britain appears to be on the brink of overtaking Italy as the worst affected nation in Europe.

Prime Minister Boris Johnson is now weighing the difficult decision about when to start easing the blocking tables.

Some nations have already begun reopening as they adjust to a new normal amid the ongoing pandemic.

Ministers will have to weigh when it is best to start moving the UK again for the good of the economy, facing the threat of a second wave of infections.

Massive changes are expected for people, such as staggered work days, smaller classes in schools, and possible new rules on face masks.

Opinium’s Adam Drummond said: “The public’s appetite for lifting the blockade measures remains minuscule.”

“Very few people believe that the conditions have been met to allow the reopening of public spaces and places on May 8.”

It occurred when the protesters called for an end to the closure yesterday when they demonstrated in London, ignoring social distancing measures.

About 35% of respondents supported the reopening of stores on May 8, while 28% supported offices and 21% supported shopping malls.

It also showed that 47% approved the government’s handling of the virus, compared to 34% who disapproved of it, and 47% were confident that ministers would continue to be able to handle the crisis against the 32% who lacked it. trustworthy.

The prime minister revealed his own coronavirus battle in The Sun on Sunday, which is said to have left him as a different man.

He spoke frankly when he revealed that the doctors were preparing contingency plans to announce his death, since his condition left him wondering “how am I going to get out of this?”

In an exclusive interview, Boris said he felt “lucky” given that there are still many Britons suffering, and said he was confident that the UK could overcome the crisis.

He said, “And if you ask me, ‘Does the desire to stop other people’s suffering drive me?’ Yes, I absolutely am.

“But I also feel driven by an overwhelming desire to win back our country as a whole, healthy again, moving forward in a way that we can and I am very confident that we will succeed.”

Previous reports had suggested there are divisions within the cabinet, with the prime minister facing pressure to ease the blockade measures, as he fears a potentially devastating second wave.

The reopening of schools will be the priority in a secret “road map” that is being drawn up to help Britain out of the shutdown.

Ministers believe that getting children back to classrooms is the key to getting the nation moving again, and elementary schools are believed to be first on the agenda.

PM has been encouraged by evidence that children under 13 are much less vulnerable to coronavirus infection than adults.

If the youth returned to class, it would not only help them learn again, but would free parents to return to work when possible.

Boris is reportedly seeking to give teachers a three-week notice to reopen primary schools to each student on June 1.

Welsh Prime Minister Mark Drakeford also said that primary schools will reopen in June today if the infection rate continues to decline.

Transport Secretary Grant Shapps today described ideas like hand sanitizer on trains, one-way systems and two-meter markers on platforms as possible measures to get Britain moving again.

Shapps told Sky’s Sophy Ridge on Sunday that if anyone felt unwell, they should not leave their home.

And he repeated the calls to the companies so that they have staggered the work start times to reduce the infatuation of people at peak times on trains and trains.

Ministers are still pondering whether to ask people to wear masks or face covers when they can’t stay far enough from others.

Government officials have also said that some of those who may be asked to continue working from home for the next few months.

It came when another survey last week revealed that two-thirds of Britons suffered from “coronaphobia” and were too scared to leave home or go back to work.
