Knowledge share workshop with PROTECT researchers: consolidating similarities and differences in findings from sector specific research.

When it comes to controlling workplace transmission of SARS‑CoV‑2, the virus that causes COVID-19, different workplace sectors face different challenges, both in terms of likely transmission routes and which control measures can be practically and effectively implemented. Researchers from Theme 3 of the PROTECT NCS conducted targeted studies to improve understanding of specific risks associated with COVID-19 infection and support these sectors to return to more normal operation.

Study findings are generating recommendations to help the government, and the sectors studied, respond more effectively to infectious disease outbreaks and keep services operating. They will also highlight gaps in information resources and where further research is needed.

This report summarises the findings of a cross-sector workshop conducted on April 29th 2022 at the University of Manchester
