CV19 Heroes Project
The CV19 Heroes Project was established in March 2020 to track the wellbeing of frontline workers during the Covid-19 pandemic. The project tracks participants working in the United Kingdom and the Republic of Ireland in a range of sectors (e.g., health and social care, essential retail, civil defense, education) across four phases: an initial cross-sectional survey, a series of fortnightly follow-up surveys, a qualitative study and a long-term follow-up every six months.
