Holding Gatherings during the COVID-19 Pandemic: WHO Policy Brief

摘要

Gatherings are events characterised by the concentration of people at a specific location for a specific purpose over a set period of time. The aim of this policy brief is to present WHO’s position on, and guidance in relation to, holding gatherings during the COVID-19 pandemic. It is intended for policy-makers; the information is derived from WHO publications and on a review of evidence extracted from the scientific literature. Gatherings may be public or private, planned or spontaneous, recurrent or one-off, and of varying size and duration. They can also be of different nature, including, although not limited to, social, sports, religious, cultural, entertainment, political, business and health-campaign events.
