Vaccines and drugs for the treatment and prevention of COVID-19 require robust evidence generated from clinical trials before they can be used.

Public health interventions such as quarantine, self-isolation, social distancing and travel restrictions should also be based on evidence. There are some experiential and mathematical modelling data for these interventions, but there is a lack of data on the social, ethical and behavioural aspects of these interventions. We aim to produce evidence to inform public health measures for the COVID-19 pandemic.
