The data combined with the confirmed cases was statistically analyzed. Results A total of 28 296 outpatients with fever were monitored and 38 confirmed cases were found. According to trend chi square test, the visit rate of the fever clinic (Z =629.11，P = 0.000＜0.005 ) decreased gradually from the second week. The analysis of the rate of the fever clinic visits (χ2=2819.54，P=0.000＜0.05 ) and the rate of confirmed cases in different areas ( χ2=7.80，P=0.005＜0.05) indicated that the diagnostic confirmation rate in the urban area was higher, while the rate of visits in counties was higher. The rate of visits to fever clinics (Z=2 261.99, P=0.000<0.008) and the rate of diagnostic confirmation (Z=10.69, P=0.001<0.008) in different age groups showed that the visit rate decreased with the increase of age, while the diagnostic confirmation rate increased with the increase of age. Conclusion The prevention and control of the new coronavirus in Xiangyang City had been effective. It is important to strengthen the screening of patients in fever clinics in key areas (urban areas) and key age groups (children and adolescents) in the next step.
