More than half of people surveyed said their mental health has been affected during the coronavirus pandemic.
The results are from a Manchester Evening News survey which we ran following the easing of restrictions on July 19.
We asked for readers' views on the government's decision to scrap social distancing and the legal requirement to wear face masks - as well as how the coronavirus pandemic and lockdowns had affected them.
But it turns out 63 per cent of people did not agree with the decision to ease lockdown restrictions last month, with 29 per cent backing it and 8 per cent unsure.
