This podcast from The Guardian focuses on the recent rules that have been introduced by the UK government prohibiting gatherings of more than six people.

There is an interview with a professor of social psychology (so it's a useful resource for psychology students also), who, as well as examining the mixed messages that the official guidance provides discusses the consequences for different groups (with reference social class and gender).
