Bulletin 80 | Gordon Woo
According to a King’s College survey, the UK compliance figure for contacts is only 11%.
For the UK reproduction number R to fall below 1, there must be a vast improvement in public compliance with quarantine. To limit the spread of COVID-19 in large households, infected individuals would need to move to special quarantine hotels. This isolation strategy has been successful in China and Israel, and would address the problem of contagion spreading within large multi-generational households, many of which are BAME families.
