Here, we share two successful COVID-19 interventions based on real-time digital information collected from international passengers, which have been performed in Greece and China respectively. Both of the interventions demonstrated good performance and showed the potential of real-time digital data in containing the spread. However, several key points should not be ignored when we promote similar strategies.
