ABSTRACT

Lockdowns and border closures due to Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) imposed mental, social, and financial hardships in many societies. Living with the virus and resuming normal life are increasingly being advocated with decreasing virus severity and widespread vaccine coverage. But current trends indicate a continued absence of effective contingency plans to stop the next more virulent variant of the pandemic. Pinpoint surveillance is still needed to achieve dynamic clearance. Based on Internet communication technology development, we sought to propose an appropriate testing strategy, i.e., a digital surveillance system consisting of masklect and voiceprint against COVID-19 based on the STRONG strategy, which could enable the resumption of social activities and economic recovery and ensure a safe public health environment.
