Abstract
In late December 2019, Chinese authorities reported a cluster of pneumonia cases of unknown aetiology in Wuhan, China<sup>1</sup>. A novel strain of coronavirus named Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) was isolated and identified on 2 January 2020 <sup>2</sup>. Human-to-human transmission have been confirmed by a study of a family cluster and have occurred in health-care workers <sup>3,4</sup>. Until 10 February 2020, 42638 cases of 2019 novel coronavirus disease (COVID-19) have been confirmed in China, of which 31728 came from Hubei Province (Figure). Wenzhou, as a southeast coastal city with the most cases outside Hubei Province, its policy control and epidemic projections have certain references for national and worldwide epidemic prevention and control. We described the epidemiologic characteristics of COVID-19 in Wenzhou and made a transmission model to predict the expected number of cases in the coming days.
