The impact of the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic on people, households and communities in Great Britain – indicators from the Opinions and Lifestyle Survey (OPN).

The 2019 novel coronavirus (2019-nCoV), otherwise known as COVID-19, is an infectious disease first identified in the city of Wuhan, capital of Hubei province in China. Infections have since been reported worldwide resulting in an unprecedented international response that amongst other containment measures, lead to the widespread suspension of many sporting fixtures worldwide. Resuming sport Resuming high-level sporting events has presented officials with a myriad of problems with solutions such as the regular testing of players and exclusion of live, in-person audiences have enabled the games to take place within the constraints of the ongoing containment measures.
English Premier League English Premier League football became one of the first major sporting events to resume in the United Kingdom on June 17th after having being suspended due to the Coronavirus in March The opinion of the British population on the return of the Premier league was heavily divided with almost half of the population holding the opinion that the 17th June was 'too soon' for the Premier league to resume however 26 percent of the population indicated that this was 'about the right time' for its return. As might be expected there was a substantial relationship observed between the level of interest of the respondent and their opinion on the appropriateness of the return of the Premier League. Only the respondents that indicated that the Premier League is one of their 'TOP' interests exhibited the greatest share indicating that the 17th June was 'about the right time' for the Premier League to resume with over 57 percent indicating as such. Conversely, the greatest share of all other respondent groups indicated that it was 'too soon' for the Premier League to resume.
Level of risk presented to athletes During a representative survey of the British adult population, undertaken between the 3rd and 4th June 2020, respondents were asked their opinion on the level of risk presented to professional athletes taking part in these competitions that have resumed. The greatest share of respondents held the opinion that the resuming sporting fixtures would present the same level of risk to professional athletes taking part in these competitions. The share of respondents that held the opinion that resuming sporting fixtures would present a higher amount of risk to athletes was also quite substantial with 33 percent indicating as such. As with the opinions on the appropriateness of the return of the Premier League the perceived level of risk to athletes in resuming sports is heavily related to the respondents stated interest in the returning sport. The share of respondent that hold the opinion that that resuming sporting fixtures would present the same level of risk to professional athletes taking part in these competitions increases with increasing interest in the Premier League with 57 percent of the respondents that stated the Premier League was one of their 'TOP' interests indicating as such.

This feature service contains COVID-19 data automatically updated from the Public Health England (PHE) API service, daily. Using this API, this service takes the current day request minus two days. Therefore the data will always be two days behind. This is a result of the delay between PHE's specimen date and reporting date.The Polygon Layers, which all contain spatial data, provide information about the latest cumulative figures at three geographies; Local Authority, Regions and Nations. The Tables, which are not spatially aware, provide historical data for each feature. The format of these tables allow you to use the Join tool with the Polygon Layers and create a time enabled layer. This can be used within a dashboard or on the animation tool to view patterns over time.

Dataset description

Daily official UK Covid data. The data is available per country (England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland) and for different regions in England. The different regions are split into two different files as part of the data is directly gathered by the NHS (National Health Service). The files that contain the word 'nhsregion' in their name, include data related to hospitals only, such as number of admissions or number of people in respirators. The files containing the word 'region' in their name, include the rest of the data, such as number of cases, number of vaccinated people or number of tests performed per day. The next paragraphs describe the columns for the different file types.

This preregistration documents an experimental intervention implemented in the second and third waves of a three-wave panel survey measuring public opinion about COVID-19 and the novel coronavirus in the United Kingdom (specifically Great Britain). (This study also includes observational survey data and data on web browsing behavior that will be analyzed as descriptive/exploratory rather than confirmatory.)

Respondents will be randomly assigned to read four articles adapted from U.S. and U.K. fact-checkers debunking four myths about COVID-19 and the novel coronavirus in wave 2 (independent random assignment; probability .5) and/or wave 3 (independent random assignment; probability .5). As a result, they will be exposed to the fact-check articles in wave 2, wave 3, both waves, or neither wave. Respondents who do not receive the fact-check articles in a given wave are instead shown four placebo articles.

This preregistration, which describes the analysis of our experiment, was written with the wave 1 baseline data (which did not include any experimental manipulations) in hand.
