THE UK Government has the joint-lowest rating in the world for their approach to the coronavirus pandemic, a new poll has revealed.

A YouGov survey found only 41% of Brits say Boris Johnson's Government is managing the outbreak well, versus 56% who say it is mishandling it. This gives a net score of -15, down from -6 the week previously.

Mexico also has a net score of -15.

The UK also continues to lag far behind most other countries when it comes to face mask usage. The figure reporting having done so remains unchanged on the previous week at 21%.

The Westminster Government has recently announced that people on public transport will be required to wear face masks, so this figure may increase in coming weeks.

The Trump administration’s response to the crisis currently generates a net score of -12, down from -7 the week before, with 41% of Americans saying the government is performing well compared to 53% who say it is performing poorly.

Vietnam has the highest rating followed by the Republic of China at +95 and +97 respectively.
