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.

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.

TL;DR: It is found that the level of immunity induced by the March 2022 vaccination campaign would be insufficient to prevent an Omicron wave that would result in exceeding critical care capacity and causing approximately 1.55 million deaths, but it is estimated that protecting vulnerable individuals by ensuring accessibility to vaccines and antiviral therapies, and maintaining implementation of nonpharmaceutical interventions could be sufficient to prevent overwhelming the healthcare system.

TL;DR: Psychological and behavioral responses to COVID-19 have been dramatic during the rising phase of the outbreak and support efforts for timely dissemination of accurate and reliable information to address the high anxiety level.

TL;DR: Prevalence of moderate or severe anxiety and strict personal precautionary behaviours was generally high, regardless of the quarantine status, and support efforts for handwashing education programmes with a focus on hygiene procedures in China and timely dissemination of reliable information.
