This is a big step up from the contact tracing we do & much closer to what happens in South Korea & Japan. But impossible with current high levels of transmission. Hence the critical importance of getting case levels down well below the current c 20k/day before ending lockdown. — PolitiTweet.org

When such variants arrive, our best strategy - if we want to avoid another lockdown - will be 'enhanced contact tracing' as discussed with @didoharding in this week's select committee: backwards & forwards contact tracing combined with genomic sequencing of every +ve case. — PolitiTweet.org

Korea has kept case transmission below 1,200/day (and is currently around 400/day) so is an example of the kind of relatively low level that makes such detailed contact tracing possible. Even without a vaccine they have not needed a national lockdown. — PolitiTweet.org
