Abstract

As the outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) has spread globally, determining how to prevent the spread is of paramount importance. We reported the effectiveness of different responses of 4 affected cities in preventing the COVID-19 spread. We expect the Wenzhou anti-COVID-19 measures may provide information for cities around the world that are experiencing this epidemic.
