    Snippet: Several studies analysing the impact of social distancing on disease outbreaks exist (Chen et al., 2020[3] ). For example, a systematic review of workplace social distancing found the policy reduces the influenza attack rate (i.e. the proportion of individuals in a population who contract the disease) by 23% in the general population (Ahmed, Zviedrite and Uzicanin, 2018 [4] ).

    Document: Several studies analysing the impact of social distancing on disease outbreaks exist (Chen et al., 2020[3] ). For example, a systematic review of workplace social distancing found the policy reduces the influenza attack rate (i.e. the proportion of individuals in a population who contract the disease) by 23% in the general population (Ahmed, Zviedrite and Uzicanin, 2018 [4] ). This is supported by an earlier study which found working-from-home was 'moderately effective' in reducing influenza transmission by 20-30% (Rashid et al., 2015[5] ). Further, social distancing in Sydney, Australia, during the 1918-19 influenza pandemic is estimated to have reduced the attack rate by nearly 40% (i.e. from 60% to 37%) indicating 22% of the population were spared infection (Caley, Philp and McCracken, 2008[6] ).
