Aperta Contrada (Italy) published an article on the latest reports on what is known about China and COVID-19. One report from IFPRI and Stanford studied the spread of the virus in rural areas. Research revealed that very tight isolation measures had been taken in all villages, that social distancing tools such as masks were available in more than 95% of the villages. These measures have taken effect. Only 4 of the 726 respondents were infected and of the approximately 70,000 inhabitants in the villages involved only 10% had been infected, without any death.
