To help reduce the spread of COVID-19 during the containment phase, people retuning from affected countries and contacts of cases were advised to stay at home and avoid contact with others (self-isolate). In addition, people who were repatriated from affected countries were advised to stay in supported isolation facilities. During the delay phase, additional advice has been issued for anyone with symptoms to self-isolate and the whole population to stay at home and only leave their house if necessary (social distancing). Anyone with underlying health conditions has been advised to self-isolate for 12 weeks, regardless of symptoms. We know that people do not always follow advice and experiencing isolation can have a negative impact on mental health and wellbeing. We will conduct surveys and interviews to assess whether people follow this advice, what might make following this advice difficult, what can be done to support people who are advised to isolate and the impact of isolation on mental health and wellbeing. We will also explore how UK and Chinese communities have responded to public health advice. Our findings will help with the management of the current COVID-19 outbreak and any future disease outbreaks requiring people to distance themselves from others.

为帮助在遏制阶段减少COVID-19的传播，建议从受影响国家返回的人和病例接触者留在家中，避免与他人接触（自我隔离）。此外，从受影响国家遣返的人被建议留在有支持的隔离设施中。在延迟阶段，已经向任何有症状的人发出了额外的建议，要求他们自我隔离，所有人留在家里，只有在必要时才离开家（社交距离）。任何有潜在健康问题的人都被建议自我隔离12周，无论症状如何。我们知道，人们并不总是听从建议，经历孤立会对心理健康和幸福产生负面影响。我们将进行调查和采访，以评估人们是否遵循这一建议、什么可能会使遵循这一建议变得困难、可以采取哪些措施来支持被建议隔离的人以及隔离对心理健康和福祉的影响。我们还将探讨英国和中国社区如何回应公共卫生建议。我们的研究结果将有助于管理当前的COVID-19疫情以及任何未来需要人们与他人保持距离的疾病疫情。
