Abstract

As of 8am 30 th January (Beijing Time) 2020, Approximate 8000 cases across the world have been confirmed. It’s necessary to simulate epidemic trend of the 2019-nCOV outbreak in Hubei Province, the hardest-hit area. By SEIR simulation, the predicted epidemic peak in Hubei will be within 28 th January 2020 to 7 th February 2020, up to 7000-9000 infectious cases in total. The estimate above was based on some assumptions and limitations exited.

    The estimate above was based on some assumptions and limitations exited. Affected by Spring Festival travel, the epidemic has spread rapidly and trend is difficult to simulate. And further investigations on potential spatiotemporal transmission pattern are warranted.

    About SciScore

    SciScore is an automated tool that is designed to assist expert reviewers by finding and presenting formulaic information scattered throughout a paper in a standard, easy to digest format. SciScore checks for the presence and correctness of RRIDs (research resource identifiers), and for rigor criteria such as sex and investigator blinding.
