Medialab COVID Tracker: January
The nation went into Christmas with a glimmer of clarity. Vaccines were being rolled out. A new administration was entering the White House. Brexit was, finally, resolved. However, after a wet and cold January the challenges of 2020 returned with a vengeance. Growing levels of COVID-19 cases, further lockdown, closed schools, and a very tough […]
Medialab Christmas COVID Tracker
Welcome to Medialab’s last coronavirus crisis tracker of the year.

Medialab COVID Tracker: September
Welcome back to the Medialab COVID-19 tracker. A lot has happened since our last update in July. In that short period you might have signed-off from home-schooling, stay-cationed, eaten-out-to-help-out, supported a loved one though the cluster-shambles of A-level and GCSE results and paid constant attention to your hands, face, and space. Economically speaking, the tough […]

To say that lots has changed since the beginning of Lockdown on 23rd March is an understatement. The coronavirus crisis has already moved through several phases. A further crisis of equality, diversity and inclusion has come to the fore. Brexit is waiting in the wings. And don’t even mention climate disaster. With so much to […]

As further unlocking of the economy is announced, with bars, restaurants and much-needed hairdressers allowed to re-open on 4th July, and the possibility of a (UK) summer holiday on the horizon, our seventh Medialab COVID-19 Tracker sets out changes to our audiences’ lives across the main themes of the crisis so far. A long period […]

In a world where our attention is currently all too often drawn to the more negative aspects of life I have been absolutely thrilled by how Medialab, its trusted client base and valued media owner partners have consistently come together to ensure that where possible our day job can make a genuine difference. Alongside broad […]
Medialab COVID Tracker | 08.06.20
We have now entered a more progressive phase of the easing of lockdown. Across the four home nations we can socialise more freely. Some school year-groups have partially returned. Non-essential retailers can open from 15th June. Pubs, restaurants, hairdressers, hotels, cinemas, and places of worship could open from 4th July at the earliest. The challenge […]
