Abstract:Objective To explore a method of risk assessment on community spread of street-based COVID-19 epidemic so as to improve the public health management level of the government. Methods Comprehensive scoring methods were used to integrate key information about COVID-19 confirmed cases reported in Shenzhen, and then a method of rapid risk assessment on COVID-19 community spread was established. Results As of February 29, 2020, a total of 417 COVID-19 confirmed cases were accumulatively reported in Shenzhen City, of which there were 224 (53.7%) cases caused by Wuhan, Hubei as the source of infection, 80 (19.2%) cases caused by other regions of Hubei Province, 38 (9.1%) cases caused by other provinces and cities, and 75 (18.0%) casesinfected withinShenzhen City. The key indicators of the method of rapid risk assessment on COVID-19 community spread were selected, including the number of COVID-19 confirmed cases within 14 days (X1), the proportion of COVID-19 cases with clear source of infection within 14 days (X2) and the proportion of communities with COVID-19 occurring in the streets within 14 days (X3), and the evaluation equation was Y=0.4X1+0.5X2+0.1X3. 392 previously-reported COVID-19 confirmed cases with definite present address were checked back, revealing there were 15 (20.2%) high-risk streets, 25 (33.8%) medium-risk streets and 34 (50.0%) low-risk streets. The proportions of high-risk and medium-risk streets in Futian District, Nanshan District, Longhua District, and Longgang District were all more than 60%. Conclusions The method of rapid risk assessment on COVID-19 community spread is simple and effective, and it is conducive to the implementation of precise prevention and control of COVID-19.
