What is ZeroCovid? ZeroCovid is an exit strategy.

ZeroCovid is unlike the usual strategy—living with the virus, mitigation, flattening the curve, or allowing the disease to become endemic with or without a vaccine—which is passive, reactive, ineffective, and massively costly in lives, long-term health, and the economy.

ZeroCovid’s goal is to move toward a new and better normal by eliminating the virus. We need to do this as quickly as possible to save lives and livelihoods. It also minimizes the risks from new virus variants that can be more rapidly spreading or resistant to vaccination.

ZeroCovid is adaptive based upon the local conditions and the strengths and capabilities of the community. Setting the goal and using all available capabilities to get eliminate the virus has been shown to work in Australia, China, New Zealand, Taiwan, Thailand, Vietnam, and Atlantic Canada.

ZeroCovid is a real-world strategy that requires hard work, persistence, and collaboration. It is worth doing because the alternative is much worse. Going all out reduces the massive health and economic costs. We must aim for zero.
