    Abstract

    BACKGROUNDS: The ongoing new coronavirus (2019-nCoV) pneumonia outbreak is spreading in China and has not reached its peak. Five millions of people had emigrated from Wuhan before the city lockdown, which potentially represent a source of virus spreaders. Case distribution and its correlation with population emigration from Wuhan in early epidemic are of great importance for early warning and prevention of future outbreak. METHODS: The officially reported cases of 2019-nCoV pneumonia were collected as of January 30, 2020. Time and location information of these cases were extracted analyzed with ArcGIS and WinBUGS. Population migration data of Wuhan City and Hubei province were extracted from Baidu Qianxi and analyzed for their correlation with case number. FINDINGS: The 2019-nCoV pneumonia cases were predominantly distributed in Hubei and other provinces of South China. Hot spot provinces included Sichuan and Yunnan provinces that are adjacent to Hubei. While Wuhan city has the highest number of cases, the time risk is relatively stable. Numbers of cases in some cities are relatively low, but the time risks are continuously rising. The case numbers of different provinces and cities of Hubei province were highly correlated with the emigrated populations from Wuhan. Lockdown of 19 cities of Hubei province, and implementation of nationwide control measures efficiently prevented the exponential growth of case number. INTERPRETATION: Population emigrated from Wuhan was the main infection source for other cities and provinces. Some cities with low case number but were in rapid increase. Due to the upcoming Spring Festival return transport wave, understanding of the trends of risks in different regions is of great significance for preparedness for both individuals and institutions.

    • Correlation Analysis of the Population Emigration Rate in Wuhan and the Trend of Novel Pneumonia in Hubei Province 16 Pages Posted: 13 Feb 2020 Wei Li Shanghai Jiao Tong University (SJTU) - Department of Geriatric Psychiatry Ling Yue Shanghai Jiao Tong University (SJTU) - Department of Geriatric Psychiatry Lin Sun Shanghai Jiao Tong University (SJTU) - Department of Geriatric Psychiatry Shifu Xiao Shanghai Jiao Tong University (SJTU) - Department of Geriatric Psychiatry Abstract Background: The ongoing outbreak of the recently emerged novel coronavirus (2019-nCoV) poses a challenge for China. We speculated that the emigration rate of Wuhan population might have an important impact on the number of confirmed cases and mortality in other areas of Hubei Province. Methods: Based on the official website of health commission of Hubei Province (wjw.hubei.gov.cn), we obtained the trend of pneumonia epidemic with novel coronavirus infection over time in Hubei Province. By analyzing Baidu map migration big data (qianxi.baidu.com),we also got the flow direction of Wuhan population from January 20,2020 to February 7,2020. Results: Since January 20, 2020, the number of confirmed cases, cured cases and dead cases of novel pneumonia in Hubei Province has been increasing. However, after February 4, 2020, the number of cured cases has exceeded the number of dead cases. The case fatality rate gradually increased from January 20 to January 24, decreased on January 25, reached the peak on January 26, then gradually decreased, and finally stabilized at about 2.8. The results of correlation analysis showed that the average emigration rate in Wuhan was positively correlated with the number of confirmed cases (r=0.899, p<0.001) and the number of fatalities(r=0.851, p<0.001). Conclusions: China is still facing a huge challenge of novel coronavirus. However, despite the increasing number of confirmed cases, the current cure rate has exceeded the case fatality rate. There is a positive correlation between the emigration rate of Wuhan population and the number of confirmed cases and the mortality rate in Hubei Province, so we still need to strictly control the outward circulation of Wuhan population.

    • Population movement, city closure and spatial transmission of the 2019-nCoV infection in China Siqi Ai, Guanghu Zhu, Fei Tian, Huan Li, Yuan Gao, Yinglin Wu, Qiyong Liu, Hualiang Lin doi: https://doi.org/10.1101/2020.02.04.20020339 Abstract The outbreak of pneumonia caused by a novel coronavirus (2019-nCoV) in Wuhan City of China obtained global concern, the population outflow from Wuhan has contributed to spatial expansion in other parts of China. We examined the effects of population outflow from Wuhan on the 2019-nCoV transmission in other provinces and cities of China, as well as the impacts of the city closure in Wuhan. We observed a significantly positive association between population movement and the number of cases. Further analysis revealed that if the city closure policy was implemented two days earlier, 1420 (95% CI: 1059, 1833) cases could be prevented, and if two days later, 1462 (95% CI: 1090, 1886) more cases would be possible. Our findings suggest that population movement might be one important trigger of the 2019-nCoV infection transmission in China, and the policy of city closure is effective to prevent the epidemic. *注,本文为预印本论文手稿,是未经同行评审的初步报告,其观点仅供科研同行交流,并不是结论性内容,请使用者谨慎使用.
