A snap lockdown gives contact tracers a chance to try and get ahead of the virus and identify and quarantine those potentially at risk of having been exposed. That takes time. It’s a good idea, but the downside is that it is preceded by panic buying and people fleeing the lockdown area, which is not good for containment.
