In March 2021, an outbreak of COVID-19 occurred at a plastics manufacturing workplace in the United Kingdom, and an initial investigation was conducted by Public Health England’s local Health Protection Team.

After notification of this outbreak, the COVID-OUT team undertook a comprehensive investigation to identify potential transmission routes, and workplace- and worker-related risk factors.

This paper from Theme 1 researchers of the PROTECT NCS, and published in the BMC Public Health journal , discusses the methods and results of this investigation.
