    Abstract

    Background: The current outbreak of novel coronavirus (2019-nCoV or SARS-CoV-2) in China and globally requires urgent research to guide the appropriate treatment of patients with coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19).

    Methods: We conducted a case-control study to the evaluate risk factors of death in patients with COVID-19. We used published data of cases from Huanan Seafood Market, Jinyintan Hospital, and deaths publicly released by the Government. The study included 41 patients partially exposed to the Huanan Seafood Market, 99 patients from Jinyintan Hospital, and 32 deaths (COVID-19 death group).

Our aim is to evaluate the effectiveness of the evolution of interventions and self-protection measures, estimate the risk of partial lifting control measures and predict the epidemic trend of the virus in mainland China excluding Hubei province based on the published data and a novel mathematical model. *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.

    • The Efficacy of Contact Tracing for the Containment of the 2019 Novel Coronavirus (COVID-19) Matt J Keeling, T. Deirdre Hollingsworth, Jonathan M Read doi: https://doi.org/10.1101/2020.02.14.20023036 Abstract Contact tracing is a central public health response to infectious disease outbreaks, especially in the early stages of an outbreak when specific treatments are limited. Importation of novel Coronavirus (COVID-19) from China and elsewhere into the United Kingdom highlights the need to understand the impact of contact tracing as a control measure. Using detailed survey information on social encounters coupled to predictive models, we investigate the likely efficacy of the current UK definition of a close contact (within 2 meters for 15 minutes or more) and the distribution of secondary cases that may go untraced. Taking recent estimates for COVID-19 transmission, we show that less than 1 in 5 cases will generate any subsequent untraced cases, although this comes at a high logistical burden with an average of 36.1 individuals (95th percentiles 0-182) traced per case. Changes to the definition of a close contact can reduce this burden, but with increased risk of untraced cases; we estimate that any definition where close contact requires more than 4 hours of contact is likely to lead to uncontrolled spread. *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.
