Rapid and accurate tracking of aggregate population flows may therefore be epidemiologically informative. The authors used 11,478,484 mobile-phone-data-based counts of individuals leaving or transiting through the prefecture of Wuhan between 1 January and 24 January 2020 as they moved to 296 prefectures throughout mainland China. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">First, they document the efficacy of quarantine in ceasing movement. Second, they show that the distribution of population outflow from Wuhan accurately predicts the relative frequency and geographical distribution of infections with SARS-CoV-2 until 19 February 2020, across mainland China. Third, they develop a spatio-temporal \u2018risk source\u2019 model that leverages population flow data (which operationalizes the risk that emanates from epidemic epicentres) not only to forecast the distribution of confirmed cases, but also to identify regions that have a high risk of transmission at an early stage. Fourth, they use this risk source model to statistically derive the geographical spread of COVID-19 and the growth pattern based on the population outflow from Wuhan; the model yields a benchmark trend and an index for assessing the risk of community transmission of COVID-19 over time for different locations. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This approach can be used by policy-makers in any nation with available data to make rapid and accurate risk assessments and to plan the allocation of limited resources ahead of ongoing outbreaks.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/bfi.uchicago.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/Jia-et-al-2020-COVID-Nature-1.pdf\">View Paper<\/a><\/p>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-1694\" role=\"img\" src=\"http:\/\/bfi.uchicago.cn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/Jayson_PopOutflow_2.svg\" alt=\"\" width=\"756\" height=\"512\" \/>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":1694,"template":"","insight_types":[495],"class_list":["post-2616","insights","type-insights","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","insight_types-fact-zh-hans"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v24.6 -
