There have been three major global outbreaks of acute respiratory disease caused by coronavirus in the last two decades. The ongoing Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) first emerged in Wuhan, China, is the most dangerous, which spread to 163 countries and 6 continents and caused a major public health emergency worldwide. The outbreak is caused by Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) originated from bats, which spreads rapidly from human to human. As of 17 March 2020, there have been 179,112 confirmed cases and 7426 deaths worldwide, with a mortality rate of 4.1%. There is currently no effective treatment or approved vaccine, so isolating the source of infection and blocking the routes of transmission is important. In this article, we summarized the worldwide epidemic trend of COVID-19 and discussed its epidemiological characteristics, prevention and control measures. We hope this article could provide experience and help for global epidemic prevention and control.
在过去的二十年中，冠状病毒已经在全球范围内引发了三次重大的急性呼吸道疾病爆发。正在持续的 2019 年冠状病毒病（COVID-19）首次在中国武汉出现，是最危险的一次，它已经传播到 163 个国家和 6 大洲，在全球范围内引发了重大的公共卫生紧急事件。该疫情是由源自蝙蝠的严重急性呼吸系统综合征冠状病毒 2（SARS-CoV-2）引起的，它在人与人之间迅速传播。截至 2020 年 3 月 17 日，全球已确诊 179112 例，死亡 7426 例，死亡率为 4.1%。目前尚无有效的治疗方法或批准的疫苗，因此隔离感染源和阻断传播途径很重要。本文总结了 COVID-19 在全球范围内的流行趋势，并讨论了其流行病学特征、预防和控制措施。我们希望本文能为全球疫情防控提供经验和帮助。
