Physical distancing; public health guidance

Status: Published on

To inform guidance development by the Health Protection Surveillance Centre (HPSC), the Health Information and Quality Authority (HIQA) undertook a rapid review to summarise the published public health guidance in relation to physical distancing in non-healthcare settings.

This review set out to identify physical distancing guidance in three specific areas:

  1. The use of physical distancing measures in non-healthcare settings
  2. The availability of risk assessment tools or frameworks to assist in the development of physical distancing guidance in non-healthcare settings
  3. The physical distance specified in the identification of close contacts during contact tracing
