Synchronized travel restrictions across cities can be effective in COVID-19 control	2020-04-06		.txt	text/plain	4695	267	56	Previous studies established the impact of population outflow from Wuhan on the spatial spread of coronavirus in China and hinted the impact of the other three mobility patterns, i.e., population outflow from Hubei province excluding Wuhan, population inflow from cities outside Hubei, and intra-city population movement. Here we apply the cumulative confirmed cases and mobility data of 350 Chinese cities outside Hubei to explore the relationships between all mobility patterns and epidemic spread, and estimate the impact of local travel restrictions, both in terms of level and timing, on the epidemic control based on mobility change. We assume, after the Wuhan lockdown, the local travel restrictions in cities outside Hubei contributed to the epidemic control by influencing population mobility. The daily population outflow from Hubei (excluding Wuhan), inter-city population movement, and intra-city population movement after Feb 03, 2019, aligned by the Chinese lunar calendar with Jan 23, 2020, were used as proxy mobility data for the no local travel restrictions status in cities outside Hubei.	./cache/cord-339743-jxj10857.txt	./txt/cord-339743-jxj10857.txt
