Google has revealed the top searches in the UK and unsurprisingly coronavirus tops the list and dominated searches in 2020.
As the pandemic developed people across the country were turning to Google to find the answers they were looking for.
How to make a face mask? When will gyms reopen? What are the symptoms of coronavirus?
Back in March at the peak of lockdown when so many people were on furlough, many of us were scratching around, finding things to occupy us.
A lot of us turned to baking and unsurprisingly “How to make bread?” was one of the most popular searches of the year.
2020 was also a year when the Black Live Matter movement gained international support and it is the main topic in a video released by Google featuring tributes to George Floyd and Breonna Taylor.
