Re: New Zealand reinstates lockdowns after first case in 102 days (How New Zealand Got Rid of COVID-19?)

Posted by Stephen Bauman on Tue Aug 11 17:03:54 2020, in response to Re: New Zealand reinstates lockdowns after first case in 102 days (How New Zealand Got Rid of COVID-19?), posted by Jeff Rosen on Tue Aug 11 16:43:05 2020.

I brought this up so that some forum members don't assume that I report only good news.

New Zealand illustrates the response to minimize Covid's spread. Their response to an isolated case illustrates what's required for that approach.

It's possible to get down to 0 cases, without testing, effective treatment, or an effective vaccine. New Zealand and a few other countries have illustrated this. The problem is that the population is still susceptible to Covid should it be re-introduced.

Handling that re-introduction has to be part of the plan. It will be interesting to see whether New Zealand's approach will limit Covid to a small cluster.
