Despite 96% saying they found it easy to find clear and understandable information about what to do to keep themselves and others safe during the coronavirus/COVID-19 pandemic many found mixed messages and unsure where to go for trusted information.

“Mixed messages. We are over 70 and have to stay at home for 12 weeks but its unclear if we can take a daily exercise or not, we have had no letter saying we are high risk. Also we don't know how to contact any of the volunteers if we need help to help”
