    Nonpharmaceutical interventions (NPIs) significantly altered the transmission patterns of various infectious diseases during the COVID-19 pandemic.

    Yunnan Province's robust disease surveillance system enabled detailed analysis of 36 infectious diseases across three distinct phases: prepandemic, pandemic, and postpandemic.

  • 3

    The study found that NPIs effectively reduced the burden of diseases like tuberculosis and enteric infections during the pandemic phase.

  • 4

    Postpandemic, the relaxation of NPIs led to observable trends in disease resurgence, highlighting the need for sustainable public health strategies.
