Testing, tracking and tracing are required to reopen and for the economy to return to normal before a COVID-19 vaccine
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) released 60 pages of guidance for reopening schools, mass transit and non-essential businesses.
The plan outlines three “phase-specific thresholds” for reducing social distancing measures and proposes the use of six “epidemiologic gating” indicators to assess when to move through another phase.
According to CDC’s guidance, “extensive, rapid, and widely available COVID-19 testing is essential”.
The guideline recommends an approach using multiple surveillance systems and epidemiology networks to monitor the progression and impact of COVID-19 spread in the United States.
The CDC expects that the surveillance data will create situational awareness which allows timely monitoring of the spread and intensity of COVID-19 disease, and permits the efficient targeting of public health measures.
Furthermore, surveillance data will allow governmental agencies to understand overall impact and epidemic characteristics of COVID-19 infection across a spectrum of conditions to include:
- asymptomatic infections
- symptomatic infection
- medically attended outpatient and ambulatory visits
- hospitalizations
- deaths
The federal health agency warned that some amount of community mitigation will be necessary until a vaccine or an effective drug to treat for COVID-19 is widely available.
The coronavirus has infected more than 1.5 million people and caused almost 100k COVID-19 related deaths in the United States, and resulted in more than 38 million Americans filing unemployment claims.
