The Economic and Social Research Institute has found that the percentage of people reporting that their Digital Covid Cert was not checked in pubs increased from 21% last month to 37% .
The ESRI's latest Social Activity Measure (SAM) behavioural study said indoor dining/drinking is becoming more frequent across all venues and now accounts for over three-quarters of pub visits .
The findings also suggest that in restaurants 34% of people are not having their Covid certs checked. Meanwhile, the ESRI said that household visits continue to account for many close contact interactions and there has been little change in their frequency following a dip over the summer.
