Abstract
To the Editor: When the 2019 novel coronavirus (COVID-19) was first reported in Wuhan (China) last December, and as warned by the World Health Organization (WHO),1 the Chinese government decided to seal Wuhan city on January 23 to prevent the spread of the virus across the world. On April 8, 2020, China lifted the lockdown of the first Chinese city of Wuhan and Hubei Province, and Wuhan’s borders were reopened based on the basically stable epidemic trend and no local infection. It is common knowledge that blockade measures cause delays in seeking medical attention for most patients. In this study, we retrospectively analyzed the attendance conditions in the neurosurgery department of our hospital during and after the lockdown of the city.
