- New research concludes that the safest way to relieve pandemic restrictions is by tying increased freedom to vaccination rates — and moving too quickly carries the risk of new variants and overwhelmed healthcare systems.
- Officials across the globe have struggled with rolling back COVID-19 restrictions without suffering a “rebound” in viral cases.
- If cases are low enough then health officials can test-trace-isolate to stop local spreads.
