Abstract

The pandemic of new coronavirus disease COVID-19 is threatening our health, economy and life style. Collaborations across countries and sectors as a One Health World could be a milestone.

We propose a general protocol, for setting timely active random surveillance of COVID-19, at the human community level, with systematic repeated detection efforts. Strengths and limitations are discussed.

If considered applicable by public health, the protocol could evaluate the status of COVID-19 epidemics consistently and objectively.
