"Canada Is One Big Pandemic Response Experiment. It Proves ‘Zero COVID’ Is Best" - The Tyee

[HenkPoley]

Zero COVID, also called Go for Zero or elimination, employs a range of tactics designed to drive infection rates to negligible. Such tactics include one hard serious lockdown followed by strategic testing, active surveillance and tight border controls.

Canada’s experience fits patterns identified in the study released this week by the Paris-based Institut économique Molinari that compared the performance of nations representing 82 million people since the beginning of the pandemic.

“The countries applying the Zero COVID strategy have experienced far less social and economic deterioration than other countries,” summed up the report.
