Details

Paper from SPI-B providing insights on how the UK is likely to respond to different behavioural and social interventions. The paper provides advice on the best way to communicate and introduce interventions, including specific points on isolating households with an individual who has COVID-19 symptoms, social distancing of vulnerable people, and school closures.

The paper was discussed at SAGE meeting 13 on 5 March 2020.

This evidence was often compiled very rapidly during a fast-moving response and should be viewed in this context. The paper presented here is the best assessment of the evidence at the time of writing, and the conclusions were formed on this basis. As new evidence or data emerges, SAGE updates its advice accordingly. Therefore, some of the information in this paper may have been superseded at a later date.
