The WHO also laid out a number of ‘non-negotiable’ precautions for the the New Normal phase, namely:

• Active surveillance and case detection with PCR tests of all suspected cases. At least 1 PCR test per 1000 population perweek in transmission areas, and their results made available within 24 – 48 hours
• Rapid isolation of all suspected and confirmed cases
• Ensure that people frequently clean hands; wear masks in public and work places; and maintain physical distancing of at least 1 meter from others

Other measures included the continued use of masks by people over the age of 60 or underlying conditions such as cardiovascular disease and diabetes.
