Border Restriction as a Public Health Measureto Limit Outbreak of Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19)	2020-11-03		.txt	text/plain	3329	216	50	Method: A novel metapopulation Susceptible-Exposed-Infectious-Recovered (SEIR) model with inspected migration was applied to investigate the effect of border restriction between Hong Kong and mainland China on the epidemiological characteristics of COVID-19 in Hong Kong. A novel metapopulation SEIR model with inspected migration was developed to investigate the epidemiological characteristics of COVID-19 in Hong Kong, Guangdong and the rest of China (excluding Hubei) in the presence or absence of border restriction. ; https://doi.org/10.1101/2020.10.29.20222190 doi: medRxiv preprint To date, there is inadequate scientific data to support border restriction as a public health measure to limit local outbreak of an emerging infectious disease in the presence of an established local transmission. In this study, a novel metapopulation SEIR model with inspected migration was applied to investigate the epidemiological characteristics of COVID-19 in Hong Kong, Guangdong and the rest of China (excluding Hubei) in the presence or absence of border restriction.	./cache/cord-290965-7qs4w9xh.txt	./txt/cord-290965-7qs4w9xh.txt
