Abstract

Great progress has been made through social distancing to reduce Covid-19, however initial evidence shows maintaining this distancing has been very challenging, particularly for those facing difficult personal, social and working conditions. Our research will help us to understand what helps people achieve the required level of distancing and how we communicate about the need for further measures, especially as we relax restrictions
