Opinion on circumstances of ending coronavirus lockdown in the UK as of May 2020

In a survey carried out in May 2020, 18 percent of Brits surveyed think that schools in the UK should re-open once new cases of coronavirus infections starts to go down, while 52 percent believe they should re-open under the same circumstances but close down if infections begin to rise again. There was very little support for any of the places to open as normal again on June 1, regardless of the situation, while 25 percent of respondents thought that pubs should not open again until a vaccine for coronavirus is found.
