A weekly survey carried out in the United Kingdom (UK) revealed that people are checking for news and information on the Coronavirus outbreak less and less as time goes by. In the week before March 27-29, almost a quarter of respondents said they were getting coronavirus information at least 20 times a day. On the last period recorded, only four percent said the same.
