Estimating the impact of lock-down, quarantine and sensitization in a COVID-19 outbreak: lessons from the COVID-19 outbreak in China	2020-09-17		.txt	text/plain	2662	163	57	Using real data on the COVID-19 outbreak from 22 January 2020 to 30 March 2020, we developed a mathematical model to investigate the impact of control measures in reducing the spread of the disease. The results of the analyses reveal that, using the data from China, implementing all possible control measures best reduced the rate of secondary infections. In this study, we will explore the control of COVID-19 using a mathematical model with China as a case study and the results could be useful for other countries with a COVID-19 outbreak. In this study, data from China was used to develop a mathematical model for a COVID-19 outbreak that includes the primary control measures used. Using all the data up to 30 March resulted in an R 0 > 1, confirming that the control measures implemented in China were effective in COVID-19 control and, where possible, should be implemented in other countries.	./cache/cord-274147-jvymoene.txt	./txt/cord-274147-jvymoene.txt
