The indicators and analysis presented in this bulletin are based on responses from the new voluntary fortnightly business survey, which captures businesses responses on how their turnover, workforce prices, trade and business resilience have been affected in the two week reference period. These data relate to the period 6 April 2020 to 19 April 2020.

This page is no longer updated. It has been superseded by the Business insights and impacts on the UK economy dataset page (see link in Notices). It contains comprehensive weighted datasets for Wave 7 onwards. All future BICS datasets will be available there. The datasets on this page include mainly unweighted responses from the voluntary fortnightly business survey, which captures businesses’ responses on how their turnover, workforce prices, trade and business resilience have been affected in the two-week reference period, up to Wave 17.

The coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic caused the United Kingdom's (UK) restaurant industry to take a huge hit. Due to measures of social distancing and general caution in public places, consumers were forced to dine out less.

This briefing brings together a range of data published on the demographic impact of Covid19 to understand how the city has been affected, covering what is known about Covid-19 cases, before looking at mortality. It provides comparisons with other cities and explains some of the issues which affect the accuracy of such comparisons. And it summarises the emerging evidence of unequal impacts for different demographic groups, especially ethnicity and workers in particular occupations.

Indicators from the Opinions and Lifestyle Survey (OPN) related to the impact of the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic and other illnesses on people, households and communities in Great Britain.

This briefing presents evidence on the socio-economic impact of COVID-19 on London and Londoners​ Topics included in the briefing focus on recent data releases published in the preceding months that tell us how social policy issues are evolving in London since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic For more on the health and demographic impacts see the Demographic Impact Briefing and for labour market impacts see Labour Market Analysis.

From April 2020 participants from our main Understanding Society sample have been asked to complete a short web-survey. This survey covers the changing impact of the pandemic on the welfare of UK individuals, families and wider communities. Participants complete a regular survey, which includes core content designed to track changes, alongside variable content adapted as the coronavirus situation develops. Researchers will be able to link the data from this web survey to answers respondents have given in previous (and future) waves of the annual Understanding Society survey.

The outbreak of the coronavirus (COVID-19) has caused many consumers in the United Kingdom (UK) to rethink their vacation plans. According to a survey conducted in March (13-16) 2020, 27 percent of respondents had delayed booking a vacation due to the outbreak. Moreover, 11 percent had been forced to cancel vacations they had already booked, while a further eight percent had cancelled voluntarily.

However, for those in the youth justice system, the impacts were likely to be exceptional. A disproportionate number of these children had complex needs, were from BAME backgrounds, had experienced school exclusions, and many came from groups with generally worse outcomes than average, including those with exposure to adverse childhood experiences (Bateman, 2017). The youth justice system faced a strange hiatus; on the one hand, criminal trials were delayed and arrests were down, while on the other, existing issues of BAME disproportionality, mental health, domestic abuse, and school engagement were areas of acute risk for justice-involved children. There was an urgent need to develop a clear understanding of the impact of the pandemic on these children and those who worked with them. Indeed, there had been a lack of focus on this group both from a political and media perspective.

We did know that the pandemic had had unprecedented implications and consequences for the youth justice system, from how professionals had to adapt to remote working, the delay of criminal trials, and the safety of children in custodial settings. Liaising with our youth justice colleagues, we knew that each stage of the youth justice system responded differently. This project brought together statutory partners, third sector organisations, senior national policy/decision-makers, and children with lived experiences. It provided a unique opportunity to gather insight and to produce impactful recommendations. By involving and working with children in our project, we addressed the usual top-down research hierarchies inherent in youth justice research and ensured that children's voices were prioritised.

The project collected data from a number of stakeholders. Aggregate data is made available from Wales and England, and redacted individual level data from England.

Social media has been vital for consumers, suppliers, workforce and partners to remain engaged amidst this exogenous event of COVID-19.
This thematic research report takes an in-depth look at the theme of Social Media and its impact on travel and tourism during COVID-19 affecting super-national organizations, DMO’s, airlines, lodging providers, cruise operators and travel intermediaries. This report analyzes the major impacts that may become longstanding and then presents an array of case studies demonstrating the creative and innovative ways companies and organizations have acted during this time.
“Social media has most openly been utilized as a tool for travel businesses and DMO’s to maintain contact with consumers worldwide – to generate wanderlust and look towards recovery when travel is once again possible. Even though the battle with COVID-19 is now beginning to lessen and restrictions are easing, it is clear there will be long-standing impacts on consumer behavior and social media is one of the major themes that will drive future changes”. – Johanna Bonhill-Smith, Travel & Tourism Associate Analyst, GlobalData.

CVD-COVID-UK/COVID-IMPACT, co-ordinated by the British Heart Foundation (BHF) Data Science Centre (https://bhfdatasciencecentre.org/), is one of the NIHR-BHF Cardiovascular Partnership’s National Flagship Projects.

CVD-COVID-UK aims to understand the relationship between COVID-19 and cardiovascular diseases through analyses of de-identified, pseudonymised, linked, nationally collated health datasets across the four nations of the UK.
