COVID-19 transmission driven by age-group mathematical model in Shijiazhuang City of China

CONCLUSIONS: Shijiazhuang epidemic was the first COVID-19 outbreak in the rural areas in Hebei Province of Northern China. The targeted interventions adopted in early 2021 were effective to halt the transmission due to the implementation of a strict and village-wide closure. However we found that age group profile and NPIs played critical rules to successfully contain Shijiazhuang epidemic, which should be considered by public health policies in rural areas of mainland China during the dynamic zero-COVID policy.PMID:37706095 | PMC:PMC10495604 | DOI:10.1016/j.idm.2023.08.004
