Border controls, restricted entry, and quarantine for inbound travel<\/a>lers are essential for stopping not just COVID-19, but any future pandemic, in its tracks, finds a review of the available published evidence on early infection control in the online journal BMJ Open<\/i>.\n <\/p>\n

Comprehensive case finding, repeat testing to rule out false results, app<\/a>s and use of GPS data to enable contact tracing and self isolation, as well as financial support are also key elements in any policies to curb the spread of infection.<\/p>\n

While various elements of a find, test, trace, isolate, and support (FTTIS) system have long been core elements of public health, COVID-19 infection has some specific characteristics, such as silent transmission, a strong age gradient in disease severity, plus other features that remain poorly understood, say the researchers.<\/p>\n

To inform future pandemic strategy and improve the design and implementation of current systems, the researchers systematically reviewed international studies, published in the English language, which evaluated contact tracing, testing, self-isolation and quarantine on COVID-19 management.<\/p>\n

Some 118 studies, covering the periods May 2019 to May 2020, June 2020, and January 2021, were included in the review.<\/p>\n

The results showed that the best strategies for a successful FTTIS to rapidly control COVID-19 (and other pandemics) early on include:<\/p>\n
