As cases of COVID-19 explode internationally, a strategic shift is required away from primarily containment, keeping the virus "out there", to home-based mitigation and public health responses. Now, the task is bearing the burden of identifying, isolating, triaging and managing the rising number of cases, necessitating total engagement of the medical community, public health sector, governments and society as a whole. As Sun Tzu noted, "If in training soldiers' commands are habitually enforced, the army will be well-disciplined." 1 The authors also highlight improvements in infection prevention and control (IPC) infrastructure, administrative controls, and public health coordination compared to their 2003 SARS experience. ./cache/cord-331978-y4uo7o8g.txt ./txt/cord-331978-y4uo7o8g.txt
