For instance, we predict that isolation of infected individuals can have a limited impact on the suppression of spread unless it includes silent carriers that are currently missed by most countries. In line with previous suggestions 14, 35 , we suggest that, thorough testing combined with contact tracing 20,21 , isolation of infected individuals and social distancing can be more effective to suppress SARS-CoV-2 spread than severe lockdowns. At present, however, lockdowns are probably the most effective way to delay epidemics until more effective pharmaceutical (e.g. a vaccine) or nonpharmaceutical interventions (e.g. fast and thorough testing) become feasible.
