The Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) outbreak has been brought under control through a nationwide effort, and now it has become a global pandemic and the situation seems grim. We summarized the measures taken in Wuhan and analyzed the effects to comprehensively describe the factors involved in controlling the COVID-19 in China. In China, several measures such as the lockdown of Wuhan, restriction of traffic and communities, increasing hospital beds, nationwide support from medical staff, epidemic prevention equipment and supplies, and establishment of makeshift shelter hospitals have been taken. The lockdown of Wuhan reduced the propagation of cases to other cities in Hubei province and throughout China, traffic and community restrictions reduced the flow of population and the spread of disease, increasing wards and beds and medical personnel reduced the incidence of severe cases and mortality, the establishment of the Fangcang shelter hospitals provided a good isolation and monitoring environment, and further reduced the spread and fatality of the disease. The fact that China was able to control the spread of COVID-19 within three months without a specific drug or vaccine suggests that these measures are more adequate and effective.
中国通过全国上下共同努力，已有效控制了新冠肺炎疫情，目前疫情在全球蔓延，形势不容乐观。我们总结了武汉采取的措施，并分析了效果，全面描述了中国控制新冠肺炎疫情的相关因素。在中国，采取了多项措施，如封城武汉、限制交通和社区、增加医院床位、全国医务人员支持、疫情防控设备和物资、建立方舱医院等。武汉封城减少了病例向湖北省其他城市和全国的传播，交通和社区限制减少了人口流动和疾病传播，增加病房和床位以及医务人员减少了重症和死亡病例的发生，方舱医院的建立提供了良好的隔离和监测环境，进一步减少了疾病的传播和病死率。中国在没有特效药物或疫苗的情况下，能够在三个月内控制住新冠肺炎疫情的传播，这表明这些措施更加充分和有效。
