When it comes to controlling workplace transmission of SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19, different workplaces and industrial sectors face different challenges, both in terms of likely transmission routes and which control measures can be practically,...
The spread of viruses through the air can be reduced by people wearing face coverings. The evidence suggests that face covering reduces with the removal of relevant legislation, partly due to habits not being formed.This paper from Theme 3 researchers of the PROTECT...
SARS-CoV-2 infection was spreading in the UK from January 2020, with the first recorded death from COVID-19 in March of the same year. Understanding the role of the workplace in the risk of COVID-19 is important but complex.In this piece of work, Theme 3 researchers...
UK local authorities that experience sustained high levels of COVID-19 are described as areas of enduring prevalence. This research, from Theme 3 of the PROTECT NCS, and published in the BMC journal of Public Health, was carried out to investigate reasons for...
During 2020, excess mortality during the COVID-19 pandemic varied over time and by occupation. Essential workers, particularly those in healthcare, had higher excess mortality than non-essential workers throughout 2020 in England and Wales.The first national lockdown...
