To compare the timeliness of nongovernmental and governmental communications of infectious disease outbreaks and evaluate trends for each over time, we investigated the time elapsed from the beginning of an outbreak to public reporting of the event. We found that governmental sources improved the timeliness of public reporting of infectious disease outbreaks during the study period.
为了比较传染病暴发的非政府和政府传播的及时性,并评估随时间推移的每种趋势,我们调查了从暴发开始到事件公开报告的时间间隔。我们发现,在研究期间,政府来源提高了传染病暴发公共报告的及时性。
