Abstract：Objective To understand the changes in the epidemic features of all other notifiable infectious diseases except COVID-19 during the first-level and second-level response to COVID-19 pandemic in Puyang City. Methods Related data were collected through the China information system for diseases control and prevention. Descriptive epidemiological analysis was conducted on the incidence data of other notifiable infectious diseases during the emergency response to COVID-19 in Puyang City, and then compared with the incidence data in the same period in 2019. Results Compared with the reported incidence of Class-B (expect COVID-19) and Class-C infectious diseases in the same period in 2019, those during the first-level response decreased by 74.39% and 12.43%, respectively, and those during the second-level response by 28.26% and 85.35%, respectively. The kinds and case number of other notifiable infectious diseases reported during the emergency response decreased to varying degrees as compared with those in the same period in 2019, and the diseases showing a larger decline in incidence included hand, foot and mouth disease (HFMD), scarlet fever, influenza, viral hepatitis, syphilis and pulmonary tuberculosis. Seasonal epidemic characteristics of HFMD, influenza and mumps were changed. Conclusion The incidence of other notifiable infectious diseases during the emergency response to COVID-19 pandemic in Puyang City decreased obviously, especially in the incidence of Class-C infectious diseases, suggesting that the preventive and control measures adopted are effective, which can provide reference for normalized prevention and control of infectious diseases in future.
