Public attitudes and the management of the COVID-19 crisis: the importance of personal responsibility

John Connolly

Research output: Contribution to specialist publication › Article

Abstract

John Connolly draws on new survey data to argue that the UK public have a strong sense of individual responsibility when it comes to containing the spread of the virus and resolving the crisis. He also finds that the decisions of governmental actors at multiple levels are generally perceived as positive, but warns that clear communication from government is crucial in maintaining this support as the UK prepares to exit the lockdown.
