The Scientific Advisory Group for Emergencies (SAGE) has established which activities are most likely to expose people to COVID-19 outside the home. The researchers reached their conclusions after analyzing 10,000 survey results from participants in England and Wales who answered questions about their weekly habits between September and November 21.
The data, compiled by SAGE's Virus Watch study and led by scientists at University College London, UK, was prepared for a coronavirus meeting on December 23 to inform any further restrictions.
