Objective To analyze and compare the epidemiological characteristics and prevention measures of COVID-19 in Nanjing and Yangzhou.Methods Confirmed COVID-19 cases data were extracted from the official websites of the Health Commissions of Nanjing and Yangzhou. Epidemiological characteristics and prevention measures of COVID-19 were analyzed and compared by using SPSS21.0 software.Results From July 20 to August 26, 2021, Nanjing reported 235 confirmed COVID-19 cases, while Yangzhou reported 570 cases. Significant differences were observed between Nanjing and Yangzhou in terms of age (χ 2=65.292, P < 0.001), place of residence (χ 2=696.964, P < 0.001), detection method (χ 2=159.880, P<0.001), exposure pathway (χ 2=52.359, P<0.001) and clinical classification (χ 2=70.124, P<0.001). However, there was no significant difference in sex between Nanjing and Yangzhou.Nanjing conducted seven rounds of large-scale nucleic acid testing, totaling over 40 million samples, whileYangzhou completed seven rounds of large-scale nucleic acid testing and multiple rounds of testing for targeted population, totaling nearly 25 million samples.Conclusions Differences were observed between Nanjing and Yangzhou in transmission patterns across outbreaks and the population characteristics of confirmed cases. The spread of COVID-19 in Yangzhou, primarily through communities, is more extensive and difficult to prevent compared to Nanjing's airport transmission chains.
