ABSTRACT

The outbreak of Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) first identified in Wuhan, China has spread around the globe at an unprecedented speed, resulting in high fatality rates and an increased burden on healthcare systems worldwide. As spikes and resurgents of new COVID-19 cases still bothering many parts of the world, China has adopted effective mitigation measures to successfully contain and even halt the COVID-19 epidemic within three months. This review summarizes China’s unique prevention strategies and regulations by providing specific examples, hoping to provide references for other countries in terms of epidemic control.
