The COVID-19 disease causes a wide range of respiratory illness from the common cold to more severe disease including pneumonia and mode of transmission is predominantly by droplet spread [1], [2], [3]. To reduce the risk of person to person transmission of the coronavirus during COVID-19 pandemic, various national governments have introduced extensive ‘lockdown’ measures such ‘social distancing’ and ‘shielding’ of risk individuals [2]. Lockdown measures limits movement of people in communities whilst allowing essential services to continue in an attempt to curb the spread of coronavirus outbreak. Consequently the effect of COVID-19 has had a significant impact of daily life including health care and disruption of economic, social and supply chain sectors [3].
