This evidence review was produced at speed, between late March and late April 2020, for the purpose of informing the all-of-government COVID-19 response plan. It was not
intended as an academic publication. This review was started as New Zealand entered Level 4 lockdown and completed as New Zealand moved into Alert Level 3, before it was
known how long New Zealand would remain at each Alert Level. The literature and evidence cited was current at the time of review (late April 2020) but since then newer
literature, evidence and data has emerged. This review will not be updated.Record #8963
