To get to a near zero case incidence level, jurisdictions needs to first understand the severity of the outbreak they are responding to. To gauge the severity of COVID-19, this websites uses The Harvard Global Health Institute put forward a Key Metrics for COVID Suppression unified framework. According to this framework, jurisdictions should assess case incidence levels as follows:
New Cases Per 100k

The following priorities for a TTSI program lead to the most efficient progress on the path to zero:
Priority 1: Test hotspots, using mobile-labs, walk-in, and drive thru clinics as well as testing of all staff and residents in congregate living facilities with outbreaks;
Priority 2: Encourage all symptomatics (regardless of severity of symptoms) to be tested (or to self-quarantine) and all those who have reason to think they have been exposed to the disease to come in for a test.
Priority 3: Trace the contacts of all covid-positive individuals throughout the population. Every covid-positive individual should generate 25 additional tests.
