    Document: A prolonged lockdown will hugely disrupt society, and it is questionable whether a complete eradication of the virus is possible anyway. Therefore most governments have aimed at softening the epidemic curve, with varying degree of success. The here explored one step contact tracing with testing and quarantine is a way to this means, and would work most efficiently in combination with other means to reduce R 0 . The combined effect with other reductions of infection the rate is further elucidated in fig. 4 . One sees that the relative impact of testing and contact tracing on peak height increases with lower infection probability.
