Evaluating the impact of the travel ban within mainland China on the epidemic of the COVID-19

The global outbreak caused by the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2) has been declared a pandemic by the World Health Organization (WHO). The number of imported SARS-CoV-2 cases in many countries has been rising due to large-scale geographic spread (Candido et al., 2020; Li et al., 2020). The ongoing epidemic of COVID-19 presents significant challenges to the development of the economy. As of November 15, 2020, the COVID-19 epidemic has caused 53.7 million confirmed cases and 1.3 million deaths worldwide (2020f).
