One in two disabled people feeling unsafe by government's easing of Covid restrictions, charity warns

ONE in two disabled people feel unsafe regarding the easing of Covid-19 restrictions in England from Monday, according to research by disability charity Scope.

Only 2 per cent of 565 people surveyed said they felt safe, while just over half said they felt anxious.

Two-thirds of respondents said they did not think disabled people had been considered by the government when it made the decision to lift restrictions.
