The paper is the assessment of the evidence at the time of writing. As new evidence or data emerges, SAGE updates its advice accordingly.
This paper is also available on the CMMID repository.
Please note that this paper focuses on the differences in the tier based system of England and as such is difficult to translate findings for contact mixing across the entirety of the UK.
