Public hygiene understanding – what can we learn from the COVID-19 pandemic?

Since 2020, UK government, prompted by the pandemic, has launched a number of national enquiries aimed at learning the lessons from COVID, including developing home and everyday life hygiene to meet future needs. IFH has made submissions to these enquiries. In this short summary of the submissions:
