Tom Baum

Project

  • Professor Tom Baum has been advising the Scientific Pandemic Insights Group on Behavior (SPI-B), which is a subgroup of the UK Government Advisory Committee SAGE which is assessing behavioral and sociological drivers of the Covid-19 epidemic, and how this impacts specific sectors of the economy, in this case the hotel industry, including Managed Quarantine Facilities (Quarantine Hotels). The report (just published), which SPI-B has produced, will enable SAGE to inform policy in a range of Departments of the UK Government and the devolved administrations with respect to behavioral aspects of risk and risk mitigation across a complex and diverse sector. Tom’s input was sought in light of published work on COVID-19 and the hospitality workforce, including in quarantine hotels in Australia.
