Summary
South Africa recorded it's first coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID19) case on March 5, 2020. In response to the COVID19 outbreak World Health Organisation recommendations, South Africa implemented non-pharmaceutical recommendations. The major risk mitigation factors recommended by World Health Organisation and others - physical distancing and hygiene - are extremely difficult to implement in much of Africa. The investigators will conduct a randomised controlled trial to investigate the effect of an infection mitigation intervention to assess the effect on household transmission of severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) coronavirus (CoV) 2 in household settings with an index patient diagnosed SARS-CoV-2 positive.
