Young people told to isolate due to coronavirus should be offered free gaming, a new SAGE paper has said.
The Scientific Advisory Group for Emergencies (SAGE) paper warns compliance with Covid-19 restrictions is "substantially lower and declining" among people aged 18 to 29 compared to older age groups due to a "lack of trust in government".
To combat this, the paper recommends young people who are asked to isolate or stay at home should be given "good financial and other support, e.g. free mobile phone data, streaming and gaming".
