It is still the central pillar. And I do believe that not all countries have reached the point where they can do that effectively.
And now we’re getting back to a situation where we’re starting to see wider spread community transmission and losing sight of the virus again.
My biggest fear is that we’re losing sight of the enemy, in that sense, by not having the surveillance systems in place, and when you cannot see where your enemy is, your responses can only be blind.”
