Before revision:  However, once reestablishing control at low case numbers, no additional lockdowns are necessary. In the long-term, immunity and large-scale testing will further facilitate the control of COVID-19 .
After revision:  However, once reestablishing control at low case numbers, the control is easier, and more freedom can be granted. We demonstrate that this strategy reduces case numbers and fatalities by a factor of 5 compared to a strategy focused only on avoiding major congestion of hospitals. Furthermore, our solution minimises lockdown duration, and hence economic impact. In the long term, control will successively become easier due to immunity through vaccination or large scale testing programmes. International coordination would facilitate even more the implementation of this solution .
