Fig. 3. The risk of COVID-19 symptom onset under two scenarios (i.e., with and without Wuhan lockdown measure) from 24 January to 5 February 2020.

Fig. 3

a Average daily percentage reduction in the onset risk in 347 Chinese cities in the lockdown scenario, compared with the non-lockdown scenario. b The onset risk under two scenarios in seven selected cities. The plotted values were computed from the predicted risk of COVID-19 symptom onset under the two scenarios resultant from the extended WKDE model, by using historical confirmed cases and inter-city human mobility data. Under the lockdown scenario, the outward human flows from Wuhan were regarded as not increasing the onset risk of other cities, due to the dramatic decrease in human mobility intensity, together with strict quarantine measures. Under the non-lockdown scenario, the human mobility intensity was estimated based on that of the corresponding time period in 2019 (see Methods section for details).
