Respondents were asked to report all direct physical and non-physical contacts made the previous day, alongside a questionnaire asking about the social and economic impact of COVID-19 and control measures. Although one social mixing study was conducted in Kilifi, a coastal area of Kenya [21] , outside of one study which collected data from a South African township [16] , no published contact data exist from informal settlements, which may be particularly vulnerable to COVID-19 due to high levels of population density, indoor crowding, and household sizes, alongside intergenerational mixing within the household.	./cache/cord-283093-9kz7387z.txt	./txt/cord-283093-9kz7387z.txt
