Core Tip

Core Tip: First of all, during the coronavirus disease 2019 pandemic, the incidence of traumatic events in our city has been greatly reduced thanks to effective government control. In addition, from the perspective of injury mechanism, indoor trauma is a major risk during lockdown periods; therefore, it is particularly important to develop prevention strategies for such trauma to reduce the medical burden of the next catastrophic epidemic.
