DPHSS Guidance Memo 2020-11 Rev 11 Amendment 1 references the World Health Organization’s definitions of “no (active) cases,” and “imported/sporadic cases” as follows:
- No (Active) Cases: No cases detected for at least 28 days (two times the maximum incubation period) in the presence of a robust surveillance system. This implies a near-zero risk of infection for the general population.
- Imported/Sporadic Cases: Cases detected in the past 14 days are all imported, sporadic (e.g., laboratory acquired or zoonotic) or are all linked to imported/sporadic cases, and there are no clear signals of further locally acquired transmission. This implies a minimal risk of infection for the general population.
