Just track, but don’t overreact.
1. Protect the vulnerable (60+ and children & adults with pre-existing conditions)
2. Remember, children are at d lowest risk. The schools should continue to be open.

SARS CoV2 will always be around, possibly forever.
Zero covid is not a strategy as one can watch China.
The cases will be reported from all settings - including schools - for many months to come, no matter what we do.
Open and shut the schools is not an option.
