#COVIDRiskChart
We designed this chart in partnership with Dr. Trisha Greenhalgh, Prof. of Primary Care at the University of Oxford.
It is adapted from a table that originally appeared in her publication, “Two metres or one: what is the evidence for physical distancing in covid-19?” (2020), which she co-authored with Nicholas R Jones, Zeshan U Qureshi, Robert J Temple, Jessica P J Larwood, and Lydia Bourouiba.
The paper provides a framework for estimating the relative transmission risk associated with different activities under various conditions. In other words, “green,” is used to indicate a lower risk than “yellow,” which symbolizes lower risk than “red.” It’s important to note that the risk ratings of particular activities and conditions refer specifically to the risk of transmission from asymptomatic people, the presence of symptoms would likely exacerbate the risk in each of these cases. Additionally, personal circumstances such as the viral load of an infected person, an individual’s susceptibility to infection, and coughing or sneezing due to irritation or allergies while asymptomatic, could also increase the risk of transmission.
