Zero-COVID

Zero-COVID is a strategy aimed at eliminating all community transmission of the COVID-19 virus. The strategy has been implemented by several countries and regions, with varying degrees of success. The strategy typically involves strict lockdown measures, extensive testing, and aggressive contact tracing.

Overview

The Zero-COVID strategy is based on the principle of eliminating community transmission of the COVID-19 virus, rather than merely controlling its spread. This is achieved through a combination of measures, including strict lockdowns, extensive testing, and aggressive contact tracing. The strategy also often involves strict quarantine measures for incoming travelers.

Implementation

Several countries and regions have implemented the Zero-COVID strategy, including Australia, New Zealand, Taiwan, and Mainland China. These countries and regions have generally been successful in eliminating community transmission of the virus, although they have also faced challenges in maintaining this status.

Criticism

The Zero-COVID strategy has been criticized for being overly restrictive and for potentially causing more harm than good. Critics argue that the strategy is not sustainable in the long term and that it could lead to significant social and economic damage.
