Abstract
In early 2020, an outbreak of Corona Virus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) occurred in Wuhan. Due to Wuhan's special transportation location, COVID-19 spread to all provinces in mainland China in a short period of time. In China, the population and industry are highly concentrated in urban areas, and the mobility of people is strong, which makes the spread of the virus greatly increased. From a geographical perspective, analyzing the spatio-temporal dynamics and evolution characteristics of COVID-19 is conducive to clarifying the scope and extent of COVID-19 transmission. Therefore, statistical analysis and kernel density estimation methods are used to analyze the spatio-temporal characteristics, and the urban epidemic transmission network is constructed with the help of complex network theory to explore the degree of epidemic correlation between cities. The study found that the development process of COVID-19 in China has roughly experienced four stages: rapid growth, rapid decline, stable period, sporadic growth, with obvious spatial agglomeration characteristics. In the early stage of the epidemic, there was a strong connection between cities, and cutting off the transmission path of the epidemic could effectively control the spread of the epidemic.
