"New Zealand’s decision to end most COVID health measures is welcome, as it
removes controls that are in most cases no longer essential. But the new COVID
management phase looks like a short-term reaction to declining case numbers
rather than a longer-term strategy.
New Zealand has achieved one of the best health outcomes of any country by
taking decisive action from the start of the pandemic.
We argue now is the time to build on that success with a strong,
science-informed strategy to get us through the next pandemic stages and lift
our resilience against future emerging infectious disease threats.
Such a strategy would need to provide a robust plan for managing the two most
likely pandemic scenarios – new variants and endemic disease."
The proposals in this article are good advice for other countries as well.
