Agreed, Australia and NZ are doing aggressive manual contact tracing (in addition to the app that was released in Australia in April).

Last I checked NZ had managed to link all but two of the cases back to the one source.

Victoria (AU) likewise has managed to trace the majority of cases to a breach in the quarantine hotel, because security guards weren't wearing PPE and were sharing a cigarette lighter (if I am correct).

It's part of a tool chest, as is the lockdown, the masks. As much as I am glad not to be locked in Australia/NZ right now, I am proud of how they've been handling it in general.
