摘 要:Since December 2019,an increasing number of cases of pneumonia with unknown etiology(PUE)—later named as coronavirus disease 2019(COVID-19)by the World Health Organization(WHO)—was identified in Wuhan(1–3),a large city of 11 million people in central China,and the basic reproductive number(R0)was estimated to be 2.2(95%CI:1.4 to 3.9)(4).On March 11,2020,the WHO formally announced COVID-19 a worldwide pandemic based on the alarming levels of spread and severity and by the alarming levels of inaction(5).Although there is neither a vaccine nor specific medication available,the pandemic was well contained in China by the strict introduction of nonpharmacological interventions(NPIs)(6).
