As the COVID-19 pandemic enters its third year and the omicron variant becomes dominant, we propose an alternative strategy for dealing with COVID-19, called hybrid lockdown, that is, the combination of lockdown (the centralized and organized lockdown of the high-risk population) and free mobility (normal mobility) of the low-risk population. Such an approach will enable a country or region, especially with a high population density, to achieve significant prevention and control the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic at the least cost.
随着 COVID-19 大流行进入第三年，奥密克戎变异株成为主导，我们提出了一种应对 COVID-19 的替代策略，称为混合封锁，即高危人群的集中和有组织的封锁与低危人群的自由流动（正常流动）相结合。这种方法将使一个国家或地区，特别是人口密度高的国家或地区，以最低的成本实现 COVID-19 大流行的显著预防和控制效果。
