In this project we hoped to answer the question: What do people actually do in response to restrictions on their activities and social contacts imposed over the course of the pandemic? This set of data is, we believe, unique in providing time use diary information in real time on changing behavior in the UK in response to each major change in social restrictions. Time use diary information of this type, collected in real time across the course of the pandemic, will provide policy-makers with information to assess and quantify changes in daily behaviors following the imposition of social restrictions, and the impact they are likely to have on overall behavioral-associated risks.
