Some states need to lock down now because there are too many active cases. When the active cases get down and there are few new cases, we can end the lock down if we have cheap and abundant and quick tests, and have robust contact tracing. In addition, these measures can help us to bring down the new cases more quickly. Also, there are quite a few states where the active cases have not exploded yet. They can use these measures to avoid the fate of locking down.
