Step 1 will be to get agreement on what is #COVIDfree. We usually decide that occurs when the appearance of disease goes back to "baseline rates". In the case of #COVID19, this will mean 0--unless it has developed the ability to mutate and becomes endemic or seasonal (like flu).
To be able to state that we are at zero, will require surveillance and case-finding, as beautifully discussed today @globeandmail by Michael Wolfson theglobeandmail.com/opinion/articl…? But this will require standards @AccredCanada @HSO_world @WHO to be set and agreed upon.
