The study aims to understand the impact of containment policy and mobility on COVID-19 cases in Chile, Singapore, South Korea and Israel. To provide experience in epidemic prevention and control.
Structural equation modeling (SEM) of containment policies, mobility, and COVID-19 cases were used to test and analyze the proposed hypotheses.
Chile, Israel and Singapore adopted containment strategies, focusing on closure measures. South Korea adopted a mitigation strategy with fewer closure measures, focusing on vaccination and severe case management. There was a significant negative relationship among containment policies, mobility, and COVID-19 cases.
To control the COVID-19 and slow down the increase of COVID-19 cases, countries can increase the stringency of containment policies when COVID-19 epidemic is more severe. Thus, countries can take measures from the following three aspects: strengthen the risk monitoring, and keep abreast of the COVID-19 risk; adjust closure measures in time and reduce mobility; and strengthen public education on COVID-19 prevention to motivate citizen to consciously adhere to preventive measures.
本研究旨在了解智利、新加坡、韩国和以色列的遏制政策和流动性对 COVID-19 病例的影响,为疫情防控提供经验。
采用结构方程模型(SEM)对遏制政策、流动性和 COVID-19 病例进行测试和分析。
智利、以色列和新加坡采取了遏制策略,重点是关闭措施。韩国采取了缓解策略,关闭措施较少,重点是接种疫苗和重症病例管理。遏制政策、流动性和 COVID-19 病例之间存在显著的负相关关系。
为了控制 COVID-19 并减缓 COVID-19 病例的增加,当 COVID-19 疫情更严重时,各国可以提高遏制政策的严格性。因此,各国可以从以下三个方面采取措施:加强风险监测,了解 COVID-19 风险;及时调整关闭措施,减少流动性;加强 COVID-19 预防的公众教育,激励公民自觉遵守预防措施。
