Although many people infected with COVID-19 experience no or mild symptoms, some individuals can develop severe illness and may die, particularly\u00a0older people and those with underlying medical problems.<\/p>\n

Providing evidence-based interventions to prevent COVID-19 has become more urgent with the spread of more infectious\u00a0 variants of concern (VoC), and the potential psychological toll imposed by the coronavirus disease pandemic.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

This paper from PROTECT Theme 3 researchers<\/a><\/span> and international collaborators, and published on the\u00a0Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews<\/span><\/a> , describes a systematic review to assess the benefits and harms of interventions in non\u2010healthcare\u2010related workplaces to reduce the risk of COVID-19<\/p>\n
