More leave home and travel to work

The latest survey of the social impact of Covid-19 from the Office for National Statistics (ONS) points to increases in the number of people leaving home, visiting others, and travelling to work, even ahead of the easing of lockdown announced on 23 June. The wearing of masks on public transport has increased but is still not approaching the 100% that is supposedly now the legal requirement.
