Abstract

What does ‘mitigation’ mean? At what stage of an epidemic does it become essential? How do we use the principles of mitigation to combat a new disease? Why does physical distancing and the use of masks help? How do we minimise the risk of infection in those most vulnerable to severe forms of the disease?
