Participants who said their relative had COVID-19 were most likely to report a ‘fair to poor’ experience (40 of 119 people or 33.6%), while those whose relative or friend had a neurological condition were least likely (41 of 215 people or 19.1%) to do so. Participants who said their relative or friend had cancer were most likely to report a ‘very good’ experience (593 of 1068 people or 55.5%).
