Concern among people in Britain about the impact of COVID-19 on their everyday life has risen to its highest since the end of May following a tightening of government restrictions designed to slow the spread of the disease. The Office for National Statistics said 74% of adults were "very or somewhat worried about the effect of COVID-19 on their life right now", the highest proportion since restrictions started to ease in late May only to be tightened again recently.

Polling took place from Sept. 24-Sept. 27, after Prime Minister Boris Johnson announced new restrictions on Sept. 22.
