Social contact information from PIPSA residents in uMkhanyakude before and during the Covid-19 pandemic – data from the Umoya Omuhle and Covid Social Contacts studies
This data collection combines information collected as part of two studies, both asking about the physical and close social contact behaviour of PIPSA residents in the context of respiratory infectious diseases. The Umoya omuhle study, conducted in 2019, asked respondents to provide detailed information on the people they had prolonged close contact with (physical or conversational) on a recent day, and where they travelled and spent time indoors. The Covid Social Contact study repeated many of these measures from June 2020 onwards, during Covid-related lockdowns. The data collection was created in order to measure how behaviours, and thus risk for respiratory infection, changed over the intervening year.
