    Isolation of cases and contacts has long been a strategy in the fight against infectious diseases; however, its effectiveness has varied. The modelling study by Joel Hellewell and colleagues1 qualitatively explored the parameters that determine whether isolation of cases and contacts can successfully contain COVID-19 outbreaks after importation of travel-related cases and initial transmissions.

Whether this strategy will achieve control depends on characteristics of both the pathogen and the response. Here we use a mathematical model to assess if isolation and contact tracing are able to control onwards transmission from imported cases of COVID-19.

    • Preparing African anticancer centres in the COVID-19 outbreak Amine Souadka，Amine Benkabbou，Brahim Al Ahmadi，Saber Boutayeb，Mohammed，Anass Majbar Published:April 03, 2020DOI:https://doi.org/10.1016/S1470-2045(20)30216-3 We congratulate Wenhua Liang and colleagues for their Comment laying out the strategic policies against cancer during the COVID-19 outbreak.1 The disease is now spreading rapidly to and within Africa. Like other countries, Morocco had the opportunity to analyse early COVID-19 data and acknowledge that individual-scale policies such as isolation would not stop the pandemic. Morocco adopted large-scale drastic measures early, including constraining mobility with a mandatory restrictive housing and curfew, despite the low number of cases (starting from 60 cases) compared with Europe. We expect that COVID-19 will have a major impact on African countries, with the risk of a rapid health-care system shutdown, due to a pre-existing shortage in material (eg, intensive-care unit beds or protective equipment) and human resources.
