Coronavirus lockdown: How can we lift restrictions?
Massively increasing testing for the virus allows for a strategy called"seek and destroy".
Do this successfully enough and it will reduce the ability of the virus to spread and will mean we do not need as tough a set of restrictions on day-to-day life. Prof Mark Woolhouse, from the University of Edinburgh, said:"Very crudely, for 80% of us who are not vulnerable this is a nasty virus, it's certainly a significant health problem, but it wouldn't overwhelm the healthcare system and it wouldn't lock down society.
Substantial increases could come from lifting advice to work from home, reopening schools or isolating sick people and quarantining households.But which measures to lift will be a difficult balancing act. It will have to be a combination of the benefits to society and the economy against the impact on the spread of the virus.
But there is also a decision about how far we go with suppressing the virus after we've gone past the peak.
