我们报告了从英国发现的头两例新冠肺炎确诊病例的公共卫生管理中获得的重要经验。第一例是输入性病例，第二例与英国境内可能的人传人有关。接触者追踪是复杂和快速的。对这两个病例的潜在接触进行了审查，并确定了52名接触者。没有进一步确诊的新冠肺炎病例与这两例病例有流行病学联系。随着英国各地采取措施加强接触者追踪，从该国遏制阶段早期接触者追踪中吸取的经验教训尤为重要和及时。
We report key learning from the public health management of the first two confirmed cases of COVID-19 identified in the UK. The first case imported, and the second associated with probable person-to-person transmission within the UK. Contact tracing was complex and fast-moving. Potential exposures for both cases were reviewed, and 52 contacts were identified. No further confirmed COVID-19 cases have been linked epidemiologically to these two cases. As steps are made to enhance contact tracing across the UK, the lessons learned from earlier contact tracing during the country's containment phase are particularly important and timely.
