Lockdown survey open for Bristol residents
Bristol City Council want your stories of how coronavirus has impacted you
Bristol City Council want to know how the coronavirus pandemic has impacted you.
A new online survey is open for residents to help the council understand what our COVID concerns are.
It opened on Friday 25 September and will close on Tuesday 27 October.
The council say it will help them understand "the scale of the challenges people are facing" and what they might need to do to help everyone prevent coronavirus spreading further.
"The survey will find out citizens’ concerns should there be a local lockdown, what the mandatory wearing of face coverings might prevent people from doing and how people feel about of Covid-19 testing and self-isolating," a statement on the council's website reads.
"Information from the anonymous survey, will help identify the key reasons people might not adhere to guidance, or might need additional support."
Marvin Rees, Mayor of Bristol, said: “During these unprecedented times it is crucial we understand how the pandemic is affecting the lives of local people as everyone’s experience is different.
"We are all finding the guidelines tough, but we all need to pull together to prevent further infections and restrictions.
"It’s vital that Bristol citizens feel supported, and have all the information they need to understand why these restrictions are in place."
Along with the rest of the country Bristol has seen a rise in infections in recent weeks, with the latest available statistics showing Bristol's infection rate at 22.2 new cases per 100,000 people.
In the seven days up till Tuesday 29 September 103 people in the city tested positive for COVID-19.
