Nature's assessment suggests that reducing the spread of the new crown 6 tricks is the most effective

BEIJING, Nov. 17 (Xinhua Zhang Mengran) The British journal Nature Human Behavior published an epidemiological report on the 17th, the European team of scientists from March to April 2020 in some countries or regions of 6,000 non-drug interventions, the results show that less invasive non-drug interventions, such as effective advocacy strategies and government support, in curbing the spread of neo-crown pneumonia may be as effective as more invasive means (such as blockade measures). At the same time, studies and validation results show that the most effective non-drug interventions are the elimination of small gatherings, the closure of educational facilities, the implementation of border controls, the control of individual actions, the national blockade and the increase in the supply of personal protective equipment.
in the absence of an effective new coronavirus vaccine, governments have resorted to non-drug interventions to slow the spread of the virus. As this has economic and social implications, it will be necessary to understand which non-drug interventions are most effective and will enable stakeholders to engage in targeted interventions to reduce the rate of transmission of the virus.
, including Peter Klimek, a scientist at the Medical University of Vienna in Austria, and colleagues, used four computational methods to simulate 6,068 non-drug interventions in 79 countries or regions from March to April 2020 to assess their impact on mitigating the spread of the new coronavirus and reducing the rate of virus regeneration.
, the team validated the simulation using two databases of 42,151 non-drug interventions in 226 countries. The most effective non-drug interventions revealed by the four calculations are the same: the elimination of small gatherings, the closure of educational facilities, the implementation of border controls, the control of individual actions, the national blockade and the increase in the supply of personal protective equipment.
In addition, the team found that less invasive non-drug interventions, including government support for vulnerable groups, food aid programs, strategic advocacy to maintain social distance and self-isolation, can be as effective at reducing viral transmission as invasive non-drug interventions, such as blockades. The least effective non-drug interventions are environmental-related measures, such as cleaning shared surfaces. The researchers found that the effectiveness of non-drug interventions in different countries or regions was influenced by the speed, number and socio-economic, cultural and political factors of interventions.
team stressed that no single non-drug intervention can stop the spread of neo-crown pneumonia and that interventions need to be integrated for countries or regions and their specific outbreaks. They stated that available data were limited in time and that the impact of non-drug interventions needed to be assessed over a longer period of time as countries or regions relaxed and/or re-implemented interventions.
