Worth reading this full report on adherence to isolation and quarantine in the UK between May and August. Some fascinating/worrying insights including that only 48.9% of participants could identify the main symptoms of Covid 19: medrxiv.org/content/10.110…
Those least likely to be able to identify cough, temperature and loss of taste/smell were: "Male
gender; younger age; not identifying as White British; thinking you have had COVID-19; and
not knowing that you can spread COVID-19 to others if you are asymptomatic"
Just 18 per cent of people who reported symptoms self-isolated. "The most common reasons were: to go to the shops for groceries/pharmacy (18.2%); because one’s symptoms got better (15.6%); and to go out for a medical need other than COVID-19 (14.9%)."
"Our results suggest that financial constraints and caring responsibilities impeded adherence to self-isolation, intending to share details of close contacts, and quarantining of contacts."
Also fascinating bits in this report on impact of your politics on sticking to the rules and on the gap between intention and what we actually do in reality ... and why there is a gap.
