The majority of the British public are in favour of continuing the coronavirus<\/a> lockdown, a poll suggests.<\/p>\n

More than four in five Britons are against lockdown measures being eased for schools, pubs and restaurants, according to the Opinium poll for The Observer<\/em><\/a>.<\/p>\n

Earlier this week, Boris Johnson said the country has passed the peak of Covid-19<\/a> infections and he would soon set out a \u201croad map\u201d for easing measures.<\/p>\n

However, only 17 per cent of the 2,000 people polled thought the time was right to consider re-opening schools, with smaller proportions thinking conditions had been met to allow cinemas, sporting stadia and nightclubs to open their doors.<\/p>\n

The poll was conducted between Wednesday and Friday and showed 79 per cent of people were continuing to follow lockdown restrictions into their sixth week.<\/p>\n

The poll shows 14 per cent of people are \u201cstarting to be more relaxed\u201d about bending lockdown rules, with 3 per cent saying they never followed them strictly.<\/p>\n

A quarter of people said they had left their home for exercise for more than an hour, 15 per cent used the premise of shopping for essentials as a reason for being outside and 13 per cent met up with friends and family for a walk.<\/p>\n

One in 12 (8 per cent) said they had sat at a beer garden despite pubs being closed, and 9 per cent said they had used the so-called NHS Shopping Hour despite not working in the health service.<\/p>\n

The UKs death toll is edging closer to that of Italy, which is the highest in Europe at 28,710, according to the Johns Hopkins University.<\/p>\n

Last week, Mr Johnson said he would not want to risk a second peak in the disease by relaxing restrictions too quickly, with the government saying five tests would have to be met.<\/p>\n

Among them was a falling death rate, a lower rate of infection, and satisfaction that supplies of testing and personal protective equipment are able to meet future demand.
