Abstract
What do people do during lockdown? This unique sequence of four time-use diary surveys provides real-time information on changing behavior in the United Kingdom during each major phase of social restrictions. We compare 24-h continuous and comprehensive information on the populations’ activities, their social context, and their location, assessing risk-related behavior during different phases of institutional response to the pandemic. Holding constant gender, age, and social grade, we show that the UK population spent on average 35 more minutes per day in high-risk activity combinations in the second UK lockdown in November 2020 than in the first lockdown (starting March 2020). This difference is shown to be associated with an increase in time spent doing paid work in the workplace.

However, it is encouraging that the sample size of approximately 1000 diary days and 350 respondents at each of the four sample time points appears to provide sufficient statistical power to discern the effects of changes in regulation.

In future research, sampling randomly from a national population frame, and more frequently–either monthly, or, preferably, continuously—would enable the tracking of changes in behavior alongside changes in rates of infection.
