Population health experts warn there is every likelihood that if measures to reduce the spread of the coronavirus are successful, but then removed, the virus will rebound.
To prevent that rebound, experts have suggested suppression measures such as social distancing and closing schools could be intermittently lifted and put back in place. That would stop the virus from rebounding too much but at the same time provide relief from the extraordinary measures to stop the virus that includes restrictions on the size of gatherings, pub closures and restaurants being open only for takeout.
If this method was employed, the B.C. public could face a see-saw of restrictions being lifted and put back in place.
University of B.C. applied-science researchers believe they have an approach that public health authorities could consider to smooth out those bumps.

人口健康專家警告說,如果減少冠狀病毒傳播的措施成功但被成功消除,病毒將反彈。為防止反彈,專家建議可以間歇性地取消諸如社會疏遠和關閉學校之類的鎮壓措施,並將其放回原處。這樣可以阻止病毒反彈過多,但同時又可以從阻止病毒的特殊措施中解脫出來,這些措施包括限制聚會規模,關閉酒館和只允許外賣的餐廳。如果采用這種方法,則不列顛哥倫比亞省公眾可能會面臨解除限制並放回原位的蹺蹺板。卑詩大學應用科學研究人員認為,公共衛生當局可以考慮采用這種方法來消除這些障礙。
