Brits put faith in doctors to get through pandemic

77% of UK residents are confident that doctors and other healthcare professionals will eventually resolve the covid-19 crisis. 

A survey conducted by YouGov for Stada, the parent company of consumer products manufacturer Thornton & Ross, found that three-fifths of Brits questioned (out of more than 2,000) are also putting their hope in the pharmaceutical industry to develop a vaccine.

Meanwhile, less than half (49%) said they trust their fellow citizens to follow the rules and regulations set out by the Government to slow the spread of the virus. 

Trust in politicians to lead us out of the pandemic is relatively strong in the UK – 35% of Brits said they trusted the Government to take control of the situation. Compared to our European neighbours, this figure is almost double that of Spaniards who said the same (18%), and far higher than the 15% of Italians who put faith in their politicians.
