    Abstract

    Just a few weeks before the first confirmed case of novel coronavirus (COVID-19) was reported in the United States, the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) issued a bold promise to the nation: the agency will use its scientific expertise to bring a new level of preparedness in the United States and global health security against current and growing threats, finally eliminate certain diseases, and bring an end to the devastation of epidemics.1 The current outbreak of COVID-19 reminds us how urgent this promise is and just how critical it is to continue to sustain and strengthen our nation's public health infrastructure. The unprecedented pace of the public health response to COVID-19 has only been possible because of prior investments in public health preparedness. To accelerate our pace and meet the challenges of current and future health threats, we must advance our world-class data and analytics capabilities; maintain and expand our state-of-the-art public health laboratory capacity; continue building a workforce of trusted, expert, public health professionals; sustain our capacity to rapidly respond to outbreaks at their source; and assure a strong global and domestic preparedness capacity.

    • 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.

    • Knowledge, Attitude and Preparedness to Respond to the 2019 Novel Coronavirus (COVID-19) Among the Bordered Population of Northern Thailand in the Early Period of the Outbreak: A Cross-Sectional Study 23 Pages Posted: 2 Mar 2020 Peeradone Srichan Mae Fah Luang University - Center of Excellence for the Hill Tribe Health Research Tawatchai Apidechkul Mae Fah Luang University - Center of Excellence for the Hill Tribe Health Research; Mae Fah Luang University - School of Health Science Abstract Background: Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is recognized as a major threat to human health in 2020, particularly for those living in China and its neighboring countries, including people living near the border of southern China in northern Thailand. The study aimed to assess the level of knowledge, attitudes, and preparedness to respond to COVID-19 among people in poor economic conditions and with low education levels living near the border of China in northern Thailand.
