严重急性呼吸系统综合征冠状病毒2型将不可避免地继续传播。虽然我们对这种病毒的流行病学信息仍然有限，但已经有多份关于超级传播事件（SSE）的报告，这些事件与爆发早期的爆炸性增长和后期的持续传播有关。虽然小规模环境事件似乎难以预测，因此难以预防，但核心公共卫生行动可以预防和减少小规模环境事件的数量和影响。为了预防和控制SSE，速度至关重要。SSE的预防和缓解首先取决于快速识别和理解这些事件，特别是在医疗环境中。更好地了解与SSE相关的传播动态，识别和缓解高风险环境，严格遵守医疗感染预防和控制措施，及时实施非药物干预措施，可以帮助预防和控制严重急性呼吸综合征冠状病毒2，以及未来的传染病爆发。
It appears inevitable that severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 will continue to spread. Although we still have limited information on the epidemiology of this virus, there have been multiple reports of superspreading events (SSEs), which are associated with both explosive growth early in an outbreak and sustained transmission in later stages. Although SSEs appear to be difficult to predict and therefore difficult to prevent, core public health actions can prevent and reduce the number and impact of SSEs. To prevent and control of SSEs, speed is essential. Prevention and mitigation of SSEs depends, first and foremost, on quickly recognizing and understanding these events, particularly within healthcare settings. Better understanding transmission dynamics associated with SSEs, identifying and mitigating high-risk settings, strict adherence to healthcare infection prevention and control measures, and timely implementation of nonpharmaceutical interventions can help prevent and control severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2, as well as future infectious disease outbreaks.
