Production : Revue&#160;The LancetThe Lancet&#160;began as an independent, international weekly general medical journal founded in 1823 by Thomas Wakley. Since its first issue (October 5, 1823), the journal has strived to make science widely available so that medicine can serve, and transform society, and positively impact the lives of people. Over the past two centuries, The Lancet has sought to address urgent topics in our society, initiate debate, put science into context, and influence decision makers around the world. The Lancet has evolved as a family of journals (across Child &#38; Adolescent Health, Diabetes &#38; Endocrinology, Digital Health, Gastroenterology &#38; Hepatology, Global Health, Haematology, HIV, Infectious Diseases, Neurology, Oncology, Planetary Health, Psychiatry, Public Health, Respiratory Medicine, Biomedicine, Clinical Medicine), but retains at its core the belief that medicine must serve society, that knowledge must transform society, that the best science must lead to better lives).Diffusion : le site de la revue&#160;The LancetDate : 18 avril 2020On April 8, China lifted its 76-day lockdown of Wuhan, with trains and flights resumed and highways reopened. Shanghai will reopen its schools for many students from April 27. Given that most new COVID-19 cases in China are imported, the country is reopening businesses and schools gradually and cautiously. The quick containment of COVID-19 in China is impressive and sets an encouraging example for other countries. What can be learnt from China? Aggressive public health interventions, such as early detection of cases, contact tracing, and population behavioural change, have contributed enormously to containing the epidemic.&#160;Kiesha Prem and colleagues&#160;found that a staggered relaxation of physical distancing measures in Wuhan in early April—such as school and workplace closures—is the most effective way to reduce the number of infections. To relieve the huge pressure on the health-care system, Fangcang shelter hospitals have also been crucial. Chen Wang and colleagues describe how these large temporary hospitals were built to isolate, treat, and triage patients with mild to moderate COVID-19. Such hospitals, built within 3 weeks, have provided care to around 12 000 patients in Wuhan as of March 10, 2020.
