Details

Paper prepared by the LSHTM and the and the CMMID COVID-19 Working Group looking at a comparison of mean contacts between Tier 4 and non-Tier 4 areas in England. This paper was available for participants to read at SAGE 74 on 22 December 2020, but not considered or discussed in the meeting.

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.

These documents are released as pre-print publications that have provided the government with rapid evidence during an emergency. These documents have not been peer-reviewed and there is no restriction on authors submitting and publishing this evidence in peer-reviewed journals.
