Testing, and contact tracing has decreased over the course of the pandemic. Testing especially is necessary to determine how the virus is spreading in the future.

"One of the indicators is trying to look at how many of the hospitalizations are due to COVID-19, and how many ICU admissions are due to COVID-19," Butt said. "If they see an uptake in these two indicators, then they might bring back restrictions."
