Abstract
Here, the authors report the population statistics of COVID-19 incidence in the city of Wuhan that is matched against the different public health interventions on infection control. They show the effectiveness of the restriction of human movement on limiting the daily reported rates across the different age-groups over time. Additionally, they report on secondary outcomes such as the severity of illness and mortality, as a consequence of the different public health measures. In this unprecedented COVID-19 era, where there is an avalanche of recommendations on various public health measures, there is a critical need for evidence-based outcomes to guide public health policies. Such well-done epidemiological studies are necessary to generate evidence to guide our future preventive measures, and also when the world thinks of resuming normalcy in the midst of a pandemic. Future research should adhere to the same principles of design and reporting.
