TL;DR: Patients with coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) requiring treatment in an intensive care unit (ICU) in the Lombardy region of Italy were characterized, including data on clinical management, respiratory failure, and patient mortality.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: The results suggest that early detection, hand washing, self-isolation, and household quarantine will likely be more effective than travel restrictions at mitigating this pandemic, and sustained 90% travel restrictions to and from mainland China only modestly affect the epidemic trajectory unless combined with a 50% or higher reduction of transmission in the community.
Journal ArticleDOI
Changes in contact patterns shape the dynamics of the COVID-19 outbreak in China.
Juanjuan Zhang,Maria Litvinova,Yuxia Liang,Yan Wang,Wei Wang,Shanlu Zhao,Qianhui Wu,Stefano Merler,Cécile Viboud,Alessandro Vespignani,Alessandro Vespignani,Marco Ajelli,Hongjie Yu +12 more
TL;DR: It is found that social distancing alone, as implemented in China during the outbreak, is sufficient to control COVID-19, and children 0 to 14 years of age are less susceptible to severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection.
Journal ArticleDOI
Modelling the impact of testing, contact tracing and household quarantine on second waves of COVID-19.
Alberto Aleta,David Martin-Corral,Ana Pastore y Piontti,Marco Ajelli,Marco Ajelli,Maria Litvinova,Matteo Chinazzi,Natalie E. Dean,M. Elizabeth Halloran,M. Elizabeth Halloran,Ira M. Longini,Stefano Merler,Alex Pentland,Alessandro Vespignani,Esteban Moro,Esteban Moro,Yamir Moreno +16 more
TL;DR: An agent-based model of SARS-CoV-2 transmission shows that testing, contact tracing and household quarantine could keep new COVID-19 waves under control while allowing the reopening of the economy with minimal social-distancing interventions.
Journal ArticleDOI
Evolving epidemiology and transmission dynamics of coronavirus disease 2019 outside Hubei province, China: a descriptive and modelling study.
Juanjuan Zhang,Maria Litvinova,Wei Wang,Yan Wang,Xiaowei Deng,Xinghui Chen,Mei Li,Wen Zheng,Lan Yi,Xinhua Chen,Qianhui Wu,Yuxia Liang,Xiling Wang,Juan Yang,Kaiyuan Sun,Ira M. Longini,M. Elizabeth Halloran,M. Elizabeth Halloran,Peng Wu,Benjamin J. Cowling,Stefano Merler,Cécile Viboud,Alessandro Vespignani,Alessandro Vespignani,Marco Ajelli,Hongjie Yu +25 more
TL;DR: The findings indicate that strict containment, movement restrictions, and increased awareness of the population have contributed to interrupt transmission of SARS-CoV-2 outside Hubei, and an early peak of infectiousness, with possible transmission before the onset of symptoms is suggested.
