Recently, infected persons are distributed in various districts in Wuhan, and some districts report more than two-thirds of social cases. The infected persons are in contact with a wide range of activities and mobility, and the risk of social transmission is high.

Second, the number of broken chain cases and cases of unknown source is increasing. Cases with unclear source and unknown transmission chain are distributed in all districts of Wuhan, and the risk sites involve restaurants, supermarkets, subways, buses and other crowded places, with high risk of renewal.
