Latest research on people’s access and response to news and information
about Covid-19

*Ofcom* has today published its latest weekly research on how people are
receiving and acting on news and information during the current coronavirus
pandemic.

The report summarises the findings from week three of the ‘lockdown’
<https://ofcom.cmail19.com/t/i-l-xiytyut-wklhtkyut-u/>, including how
people’s experiences and behaviour has changed since the previous weeks. It
shows, among other things, that:

   - half of all respondents (50%) have come across false or misleading
   information about Covid-19 - up from 46% in week one;
   - theories linking the origins or causes of Covid-19 to 5G technology
   are now the most common pieces of false information (seen by 50% of those
   that have come across any misinformation);
   - the proportion of people who are using fact-checking sites increased
   from 10% in week one of the ‘lockdown’ to 18% in week two, before
   decreasing slightly to 15% in week three; and
   - the proportion of people who say they are finding it hard to know
   what’s true or false about Covid-19 has decreased from 40% in week one, to
   32% in week three.

Virtually all respondents continue to say they are closely following the
official advice about practising social distancing (98%), only going
outside for essential things (97%) and washing hands regularly (94%).
The next wave of the research, covering week four of the ‘lockdown’, will
be published on Tuesday 28 April 2020.
