Stochastic simulations further showed that significantly increased local contacts among imported 'escaper', its epidemiologically associated cases and susceptible populations greatly contributed to the local outbreak of COVID-19. Collectively, our model has characterized the epidemic of COVID-19 in Heilongjiang province and implied that strongly controlled measured should be taken for infected and asymptomatic patients to minimize total infections. Specifically, a recent 'super spreader' or 'imported escaper' in Heilongjiang province has led to tens of diagnosed or asymptomatic cases [3] . Using this model, we performed stochastic simulations and found that partial relief in strictly controlled interventions may contribute to the occurrence of diagnosed patients recently (from April 9 to April 19) provided that there is only one imported patient without surveillance [3] .
