(1) The overall trends of the number of daily close contacts and infected cases as well as their association during an epidemic of Omicron Variant of SARS-CoV-2 have been poorly described. (2) Methods: This study was to describe the trends during the epidemic of the Omicron variant of SARS-CoV-2 in Shenzhen, China, including the number of close contacts and infected cases as well as their ratios by days and stages (five stages). (3) Results: A total of 1128 infected cases and 80,288 close contacts were identified in Shenzhen from 13 February 2022 to 1 April 2022. Before the citywide lockdown (14 March), the number of daily close contacts and infected cases gradually increased. However, the numbers showed a decrease after the lockdown was imposed. The ratio of daily close contacts to daily infected cases ranged from 20.2:1 to 63.4:1 and reached the lowest during the lockdown period. The growth rate of daily close contacts was consistent with those of infected cases observed 6 days later to some extent. (4) Conclusions: The Omicron variant epidemic was promptly contained by tracing close contacts and taking subsequent quarantine measures. |
