The stats come in a report that gauges the impact of virus measures for the C19 National Foresight Working Group.

Other data reveals that less than 20 per cent of people are wearing face masks out of the home.

And although the unemployed — and Londoners — are more likely to wear a mask, the jobless are least likely to observe social distancing.

The research report also says: “Retired people are most likely to engage in physical distancing behaviours, which may reflect ongoing recognition for the increased risk to older adults.”

A study conducted in May shows only a quarter of the country think schools should reopen.

Other figures indicate more people have been getting good sleep since lockdown began.
