Segmentation and shielding of the most vulnerable members of the population as elements of an exit strategy from COVID-19 lockdown

2020-05-08

Abstract excerpt

In this study we demonstrate that the adoption of a segmenting and shielding (S&S) strategy could increase scope to partially exit COVID-19 lockdown while limiting the risk of an overwhelming second wave of infection. The S&S strategy has an antecedent in the “cocooning” of infants by immunisation of close family members (Forsyth et al., 2015), and forms a pillar of infection, prevention and control (IPC) strategi...
