Abstract
The emerging outbreak of the 2019 novel coronavirus (2019-nCoV) originated from Wuhan poses a great challenge to healthcare system in China. 1 Primary care practitioners (PCPs) have an important role in district communicable disease control. 2 However, because primary health-care system in China still needs to be substantially strengthened, 3,4 whether PCPs are proactive and capable in responding to the outbreak remains unclear. Using an electronic questionnaire, we surveyed a national sample of PCPs to assess their response to novel coronavirus outbreak.

Results from LimitationRecognizer: We detected the following sentences addressing limitations in the study:Our study includes several limitations. First, there is a diversity of control measures among districts and PCPs’ response may be affected by local authorities. Second, PCPs other than clinicians are not included in our study because they are not responsible for screening and transfer. Policy-makers should take steps to improve PCPs’ capacity and consciousness to ready for rapid response, and strengthen collaboration between PCPs and specialists in hospitals.
