Are you concerned about the latest rise in Covid cases?

After March saw a rapid rise in Covid cases, we want to know if you're concerned about the situation.

New cases nationally had risen to more than 183,000 by 28 March with a seven day average of more than 69,000. The start of the month saw just under 27,000 new cases and a rolling seven day average of just shy of 24,000.

The rise comes after all remaining Covid restrictions were lifted on 24 February. Since then the government has also stopped offering free lateral flow tests, unless certain eligibility requirements are met.
