Background
On 12 January 2020, the World Health Organization (WHO) confirmed that a novel coronavirus was the cause of a respiratory illness in a cluster of people in Wuhan City, Hubei Province, China, which was reported to the WHO on 31 December 2019.[4][5]
The case fatality ratio for COVID-19 has been much lower than SARS of 2003,[6][7] but the transmission has been significantly greater, with a significant total death toll.[8][6]
Control measures
The government has declared a color coded alert system for the control and containment of the pandemic, as follows:[9]
- Green (Information): No reported cases, but neighboring countries exposed.
- Yellow (Moderated): Accelerated increasing of epidemiological variables, high hospital occupancy, low control of cases.
- Orange (High): Increasing of epidemiological variables, medium hospital occupancy, acceptable control of cases.
- Red (Extreme): Extreme hospital occupancy.
The epidemiological variables are:
- Canton risk by attack rate (weekly): New cases by canton population divided by new national cases, 66% of weight.
- Slope and variation coefficient (triweekly): Weekly increase or decrease in the active cases of a canton, 33% of weight.
More specific details, formulas or algorithms for the alert color designation of the cantons or districts have been kept secret and has not been released as of July 2020, which has been contested by local government of the cantons, commerce associations, journalists and open data activists.[10]
As of August 2020, only Yellow Alert or Orange Alert has been used to designate the administrative areas of the country, with differentiated restrictions on each area.
