The significant worldwide effects of Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) have been apparent since its outbreak. This unprecedentedly widespread virus, SARS-CoV-2, has high infectivity, asymptomatic transmission, and a long-term incubation period. These characteristics have led to the rapid spread of viruses between cities and humans. The cause of the outbreak of the epidemic in Wuhan is also due to the large population, transportation, and the healthcare system lack of public health prevention and intervention in Wuhan. This unavoidable pandemic not only because the virus has robust transmission, but also the city of Wuhan did not control the spread of the virus in the early stage of the epidemic. These factors lead to a huge public health problem worldwide.
