    Document: Various control measures have been implemented worldwide, including isolation of confirmed and suspected cases, contact tracing, and physical distancing. However, only the most aggressive measures have resulted in epidemic suppression. In Hubei, a regional lockdown was implemented on 23-24 January 2020, with a peak in reported cases occurring approximately two weeks later [4] . In Italy, a national lockdown was implemented on 9 March 2020 once 7,375 confirmed cases and 366 deaths had been recorded; only in the last few days (as of 29 March) the epidemic seems to be slowing down [5] . In comparison, India declared a nationwide lockdown on 24 March 2020, with only 434 confirmed cases and 0 deaths [6, 7] . Similarly, South Africa began a 21-day lockdown on 27 th March, with 927 known cases and 0 deaths [8, 9] . The implementation of such early and aggressive control measures in India and South Africa may substantially increase their chances of successful containment, although the social and personal cost could be substantial [10] .
