We're delighted to announce the publication of our short article on the various measures introduced by the UK government in response to the Covid-19 crisis designed to reduce transmission and protect people judged to be at heightened risk. This paper explores the implications of such measures in the UK for disabled people, focussing on measures designed to reduce the use of streets and on measures to control the behaviour of people using streets and public spaces.
