As coronavirus vaccines continue to be rolled out in major economies around the world, attention is again turning to current lockdown strategies in a bid to eliminate any new cases of the virus.
Some experts have called for a “zero-Covid” strategy, advocating for very strict lockdowns, social restrictions and travel bans in a bid to eradicate all cases of the virus before the reopening of public and business life again.
Countries like New Zealand and Australia opted for this approach, shuttering their countries early on in the pandemic to prevent new cases.
