But the survey also found that the Welsh public were most likely to stay in their gardens and least likely to visit a park or public green space.

"Levels of worry and concern are high across all countries and regions, with many of us keeping in touch with families and friends, but we also find differences in how lockdown has affected people around Great Britain."
