Estimation of COVID-19 Transmission and Advice on Public Health Interventions

At the end of 2019, an outbreak of the novel coronavirus (COVID-19) made a profound impact on the country’s production and people’s daily lives. Up until now, COVID-19 has not been fully controlled all over the world. Based on the clinical research progress of infectious diseases, combined with epid...

description At the end of 2019, an outbreak of the novel coronavirus (COVID-19) made a profound impact on the country’s production and people’s daily lives.

At the same time, the model’s prediction of the prevention effect and control measures have shed new light on epidemic prevention and control.
