Lockdown measures put in place around the world have affected people’s lives at various levels. The debate about when they should start and end is endless, with many defending variations of it which consider age, health risk, the importance of labour for society (key workers), to name a few.
In certain locations in the world, particularly in developing nations, the debate is between health issues (lockdown) vs. survivability (getting back to work); this debate is around health concerns and the economy and one that is hard to delve into. In line with the worries about the economy, a few world leaders have defended what is called vertical social isolation to “enable people in low income classes to earn a living” and “avoid further suffering from loss of income”.
Although these policies have not been in place in the UK we explore what has been the \textit{de facto} effect of lockdown policies to different social classes in several regions of the UK.
In addition to the regional differences, we also investigated how the mobility restriction measures and the partial lockdown affected the mobility patterns of populations from different socioeconomic groups according to the Office of National Statistics Socio-economic Classification (SEC).
