Effective preventive and control measures are important for the control of outbreaks of infectious diseases such as Coronavirus Virus Disease 2019(COVID-19). By reviewing the preventive and control measures in this epidemic, we have explored a health prevention model that integrates online and offline, unifies thoughts and behaviours, combines prevention and control within and outside the hospital, and provides synergistic interventions between internal and external treatments. This innovative prevention model embodies the concept of “treating the disease before it happens” in Traditional Chinese medicine and is expected to provide lessons for the prevention of other diseases.
