Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is an emerging disease caused by the coronavirus, SARS-CoV-2, which leads to severe respiratory infections in humans. COVID-19 was first reported in December 2019 in Wuhan city, a populated area of the Hubei province in China. As of now, Wuhan and other cities nearby have become safe places for locals. The rapid control of the spread of COVID-19 infection was made possible due to several interventions and measures that were undertaken in Wuhan. This narrative review study was designed to evaluate the emerging literature on the combined measures taken to control the COVID-19 pandemic in Wuhan city. Science Direct, Springer, Web of Science, and the PubMed data repositories were searched for studies published between December 1, 2019, and June 07, 2020. The referred "preferred reporting items for systematic reviews and meta-analyses" (PRISMA) protocol was used to conduct this narrative review. A total of 330 research studies were found as a result of the initial search based on exclusion and inclusion criteria, and 30 articles were chosen on final evaluation. It was discovered that the combined measures to control the spread of COVID-19 in Wuhan included cordon sanitaire, social distancing, universal symptom surveys, quarantine strategies, and transport restrictions. Based on the recommendations presented in this review study, existing policies with regard to combined measures and public health policies can be enforced by other countries to implement a rapid control procedure to control the spread of the COVID-19 pandemic.
2019冠状病毒病（COVID-19）是一种由冠状病毒SARS-CoV-2引起的新发疾病，可导致人类严重呼吸道感染。COVID-19于2019年12月在中国湖北省人口密集地区武汉市首次报告。截至目前，武汉及附近其他城市已成为当地人的安全之地。由于在武汉采取了多项干预措施和举措，COVID-19感染的传播得以迅速得到控制。本叙述性综述研究旨在评估有关武汉市为控制COVID-19大流行而采取的综合措施的新文献。在科学Direct、施普林格、科学网和PubMed数据存储库中检索了2019年12月1日至2020年6月7日发表的研究。采用引用的“系统评价和荟萃分析的首选报告项目”（PRISMA）方案进行本叙述性综述。根据排除和纳入标准，初步检索共找到330项研究，最终评估选择了30篇文章。研究发现，武汉控制COVID-19传播的综合措施包括防疫封锁、社交距离、普遍症状调查、隔离策略和交通限制。基于本综述研究提出的建议，其他国家可以执行有关综合措施的现有政策和公共卫生政策，以实施快速控制程序来控制COVID-19大流行的传播。
