  • United Kingdom - Johnson plans to impose a 14-day quarantine on those who enter the United Kingdom

In just two weeks, the British have lost confidence in the Boris Johnson government to deal with the coronavirus epidemic that has put their country at the head of Europe with 31,587 fatalities. A majority even consider at this point that the United Kingdom has done worse than Spain (29% to 22%) and that Italy (29% and 22%), according to an Opinium poll for 'The Observer'.

In general terms, the British still give their government a thumbs up (48% vs. 36%) without going into comparisons. But in a hypothetical hand-to-hand with other countries, only the United States comes out worse, with 54% thinking that Johnson has done better than Trump.

For most Britons, the model country for the coronavirus is Germany , with 52% (compared to 14%) saying that it has done better than the United Kingdom. South Korea (51%), Australia (44%) and even China (34% vs. 28%) have reacted better than the British Isles, according to Opinium's survey of 2,005 adults, the same day as the UK It surpassed Italy as the European country with the most fatalities.

Boris Johnson's return to action, after almost a month of absence after contracting the virus and being admitted to the ICU of St. Thomas Hospital, has coincided with growing skepticism about the Government's strategy in the face of the pandemic , increased by the confusion around the "de-escalation".

60% of those surveyed disapprove of the government's management due to the slowness of tracking the epidemic and testing the population (last Sunday the 100,000 daily mark was exceeded but has dropped again). A large majority are opposed to an immediate return to "normality": less than 10% support the reopening of schools and three out of five admit that they would feel comfortable dining in a restaurant or traveling by subway or bus.
