This article discusses the effectiveness of a test-trace-quarantine model of COVID-19 response in lieu of mobility limiting interventions. A computer analysis was done using a program called Covasim to generate predictions of community impact, and real-world data was also collected showing a transition from mobility limiting interventions (such as school and work closures) to test-trace-quarantine interventions. Results indicate that this type of intervention can be successful in limiting the impact of COVID-19 when all parts of the model have strong performance.
