Abstract

This is the protocol for a rapid systematic review on the effectiveness and unintended consequences of public health and social measures implemented to reduce transmission of pathogens that spread by direct (skin-to-skin) contact. This review will inform the development of advice and guidance to support cross-governmental decision-making on pandemic preparedness.
