It means eliminating the spread of infection between people in the UK and putting in place measures to prevent or quickly staunch any further imported cases. Today that means four key steps: - A full UK-wide lockdown until new cases in the community have been reduced close to zero - An effective find, test, trace, isolate and support (FTTIS) system, run locally in the public sector, to quickly squash any further outbreaks - Covid screening, and where necessary quarantine, at all ports of entry to the UK - Guarantee the livelihood of everyone who loses money because of the pandemic
