It seems like the kind of thing that should just have a small informative pamphlet mailed to everyone in the country. It's a relatively cheap, straightforward way to inform everyone.

I agree, and it's happened before. Very recently, the Prime Minister sent a letter to every household in the UK on the COVID-19 lockdown measures. [1] This would be less intensive, as it would go to all households in England, not the whole UK.

Since England is nearly 85% of the UK, it really doesn’t make that much of a difference.
