    Snippet: Several limitations are associated with this study. First, this study relied on findings from a rapid review as opposed to a comprehensive systematic review of the literature. Second, only a selection of NPIs were analysed based on current discussions regarding potential policy actions to combat COVID-19. Third, findings from the analysis may not be directly applicable to combatting COVID-19 given the effectiveness of NPIs differ depending on the.....
    Document: Several limitations are associated with this study. First, this study relied on findings from a rapid review as opposed to a comprehensive systematic review of the literature. Second, only a selection of NPIs were analysed based on current discussions regarding potential policy actions to combat COVID-19. Third, findings from the analysis may not be directly applicable to combatting COVID-19 given the effectiveness of NPIs differ depending on the context in which they are implemented (e.g. population compliance) as well as the characteristics of the disease (e.g. reproduction number, incubation period, infection fatality rate). Finally, evidence to assess the impact of policy packages was reliant on modelling studies, which were often specific to a geographic region (primarily the United States and the United Kingdom).
