A new poll has revealed that public trust in government handling of the Covid-19 crisis is on the wane in the G7 nations, The Guardian reports.
48% of respondents approved of the way in which their governments were dealing with the pandemic, down from 50% in April and 54% in March.
The United Kingdom saw the largest drop in public confidence - a fall of 18 points. Five other G7 countries (the US, Canada, Germany, France, and Italy) saw drops of between two and six points. Only Japan showed an increase.
