CHAPTER 1
OFFENDER ACCESS TO SERVICES AND STANDARDS FOR BEHAVIOR
I. INTAKE PROCESS
All offenders committed to the Texas Department of Criminal Justice (TDCJ) are received at a prison, state jail, intermediate sanction faction (ISF) or a substance abuse felony punishment (SAFP) intake facility. These facilities are equipped to receive and process offenders admitted to the agency’s custody. Offenders who speak little or no English shall be identified and shall receive the necessary type of language assistance during the intake process and later when assigned to a unit.
A. Receiving and Screening
Offenders shall be searched upon arriving at a TDCJ facility. A receipt shall be completed for each offender's money and property. Medical care shall be given, if care is needed immediately. Offenders shall be housed according to security needs. State clothing shall be issued; haircuts and showers provided.
B. Photographs and Fingerprints
Each offender shall go to the Photograph and Identification Department to be:
1. Photographed;
2. Fingerprinted;
3. Examined for any identifying scars, marks, or tattoos; and
4. Interviewed to obtain basic demographic and emergency contact information.
The fingerprints shall be sent to the FBI and the Texas Department of Public Safety (DPS). The Photograph and Identification process helps identify every offender to make sure no one is admitted or released illegally, and creates the TDCJ-issued identification card that each offender is required to carry.
C. Physical Examination
Offenders shall be given a physical examination by medical and dental staff. The medical and dental staff shall ask each offender about his medical history. The medical and dental staff shall use the results to determine the special needs, if any, of an offender. The special medical needs of an offender shall be taken into consideration during the classification process.
D. Mental Health Screening
Each offender shall undergo an initial mental health screening. An offender may be referred for further psychological evaluation.

ADA related complaints should be addressed through the Offender Grievance Procedure. ADA related complaints may also be expressed on an Inmate Request to an Official, I-60, to the warden. Offenders who require assistance with daily life activities should request an evaluation from the unit medical provider for a referral to Assistive Disability Services (ADS).

DEFENDANTS' DISCLOSURE - 0210
I. Prison Offenders
The State Classification Committee (SCC) and designated staff of the Classification and Records Office (CRO) shall determine the first unit to which each offender sentenced to prison shall be sent. Offenders do not have the right to choose their unit of assignment. Offenders are assigned to units by the SCC after intake processing is completed.
Offenders spend the first few weeks going through the intake process. Data is collected on each offender. The SCC and CRO staff use this data to place offenders with similar characteristics on units or facilities together. The SCC and CRO staff shall make its decision based on:
1. All information collected;
2. The offender's safety needs;
3. The offender's security needs; and
4. The offender's treatment needs.
Based on 1-4 above, the SCC may also recommend the offender's:
1. Level of supervision (custody level);

II. UNIT CLASSIFICATION
A. Custody Levels
On the unit of assignment, an offender is given a custody designation which indicates several things. It tells where and with whom he can live, how much supervision he will need, and what job he can be assigned to.
An offender's custody level depends on his current institutional behavior, his previous institutional behavior, and his current offense and sentence length. If the offender violat es any rules, he may be placed in a more restrictive custody. If the offender complies with the rules, he may be assigned a less restrictive custody level.
Offender Orientation Handbook 5 FEBRUARY 2017
DEFENDANTS' DISCLOSURE - 0212
Prison Offender Custody Levels: State Jail Offender Custody Levels:
1. Administrative Segregation 1. Administrative Segregation (SR) 2. General Population Level 5 (G5) 2. General Population Level 5 (J5) 3. General Population Level 4 (G4) 3. General Population Level 4 (J4) 4. General Population Level 3 (G3) 4. General Population Level 2 (J2) 5. General Population Level 2 (G2) 5. General Population Level 1 (J1) 6. General Population Level 1 (G1)
1. Administrative segregation, SR custody for state jail offenders, refers to offenders who shall be separated from the general population because they are dangerous, either to other offenders or staff, or they are in danger from other offenders. Offenders who, according to the Security Threat Group Management Office (STGMO), are members of security threat groups designated by TDCJ, may be given this custody level. These offenders leave their cells, for the most part, only for showers and limited recreation. Offenders assigned to administrative segregation in expansion cellblocks shower in their cells.
2. General population Level 5 (G5) or (J5) custody refers to offenders who have assaultive or aggressive disciplinary records. G5 or J5 custody offenders shall live in cells. They may not work outside the security fence without direct, armed supervision.
3. General population Level 4 (G4) or (J4) custody means the offender shall live in a cell, with few exceptions, and may work outside the security fence under direct armed supervision. J4 state jail offenders may be housed in designated dorms.
4. General population Level 3 (G3) refers to prison offenders who may live in dorms or cells inside the main building of the unit. G3 offenders are ineligible to live in dorms outside the main building of a unit, inside the security fence. G3 offenders shall be generally assigned to field force and secure jobs inside the perimeter as designated by the warden. They may work outside the security fence under direct armed supervision. (state jail offenders are not assigned to level 3 custody as this custody is reserved for offenders serving sentences of 50 years or greater.)
5. General population Level 2 (G2) or (J2) custody refers to offenders who may live in dorms or cells inside the security fence. They may work outside the security fence under direct armed supervision.
6. General population Level 1 (G1) or (J1) custody allows offenders to live in dorms outside the security fence. Offenders living in trusty camps shall be classified OT custody. They may work outside the security fence with periodic unarmed supervision.
Note: Offenders in general population custody levels may also be given a safekeeping status (P2 – P5) if they need an added level of protection from other offenders.
B. Committees
In TDCJ, a classification committee determines an offender’s custody.
Offender Orientation Handbook 6 FEBRUARY 2017
DEFENDANTS' DISCLOSURE - 0213
1. Unit Classification Committee (UCC)
Responsible for assigning an offender a custody level. This custody level designates where offenders shall live on the unit and what job(s) they are eligible for. Offenders appear before this committee when they arrive on a new unit. They also meet with the UCC when routine classification decisions are needed.
2. Administrative Segregation Committee (ASC)
Responsible for the process of reviewing offenders for placement in administrative segregation and routine reviews of those offenders.
3. State Classification Committee (SCC)
A central administrative classification committee that makes final decisions with regards to agency-wide issues and unit classification committee recommendations. During the intake process, the SCC makes decisions concerning the initial assignment of an offender to a unit. The SCC also makes final decisions regarding administrative segregation, safekeeping, and requests for protection.
4. Security Precaution Designator Review Committee (SPDRC)
The authority that determines the eligibility for removal of a security precaution designator code from the offender’s record. This committee is also the authority that determines if a security precaution designator should remain in the offender’s record after designated timeframes expire.
C. Inter-Unit Transfers
Inter-unit transfers are transfers from one unit to another. Offenders do not have a right to choose their unit of assignment. Inter-Unit transfers are based on departmental and offender needs. Transfer requests follow a process. The warden, the Unit Classification Committee or the proper department head shall first recommend transfer requests. If approved at the unit level, the unit shall then contact the State Classification Committee for final approval.
Transfer requests for medical or educational reasons shall be made to the appropriate department. For example, the Education Department shall review and approve a transfer request to attend a four-year college program. If approved, the department head forwards the request to the State Classification Committee for its review. The State Classification Committee shall not review transfer requests directly from offenders.
Some offenders have problems/conflicts on their unit and want a transfer. These offenders should contact the unit staff for help. If further review is needed, the State Classification Committee shall be contacted.
Hardship transfer requests may be considered to accommodate immediate family members listed on the offender’s approved visitation list if medical documentation can be obtained. The request shall come from the offender’s immediate family member.
D. Good Conduct Time
Note: Only prison-sentenced offenders convicted of first, second, or third degree felonies receive good conduct time.
Offender Orientation Handbook 7 FEBRUARY 2017
DEFENDANTS' DISCLOSURE - 0214
Good conduct time is a privilege, not a right. Offenders shall follow the rules in order to receive good conduct time. Some or all of the good conduct time awarded to an offender may be taken away for disciplinary infractions.
When offenders enter the TDCJ, they are assigned a time-earning status of Line Class I. Offenders can work their way into a higher time-earning status or be placed into a lower time-earning status, dependant upon their behavior. Each time-earning status is linked with a set number of days of good conduct time that can be earned each month. This rate is fixed by law. There are two (2) types of time-earning statuses:
1. Line Class status (ranging from Line Class III to Line Class I), and
2. State-Approved Trusty (SAT) status (ranging from SAT IV to SAT II).
Newly received offenders shall be assigned to Line Class I status and shall wait six months before they are eligible for promotion in time-earning status. They shall be automatically promoted if they do not have any major disciplinary cases during this time period.
Good conduct time is awarded based on the laws in effect when the crime was committed, as described below.
Offenders who committed their crimes before September 1, 1987 are "Pre-70th Legislature" offenders. These offenders are also known as "65th Legislature" offenders. They are awarded good conduct time each month based on their time-earning status.
"Pre-70th Legislature, 65th Legislature and Pre-65th Legislature” offenders can also earn up to 15 extra days of good conduct time each month. These extra credits are called "A", "B", and "C" credits. To receive these credits, offenders shall complete one or more programs in academic or vocational education or complete an On-the-Job Training Program while in the TDCJ. These extra credits are awarded from the time the program was completed. Offenders in Line Class III status are not eligible to receive "A", "B", or "C" credits.
Offenders who committed their crime on or after September 1, 1987 are known as "70th Legislature" offenders. They are awarded good conduct time each month based on their time-earning status if they participate in assigned work or school programs. For participating, these offenders also get an extra 15 days of diligent participation credits each month. These offenders get no good conduct time for each day they do not go to work, school or a required treatment program when unexcused. “70th Legislature” offenders who are assigned to administrative segregation sha ll not receive any of the 15 days diligent participation good conduct time credits. They shall receive only the good conduct time based on their time earning status. Offenders who are excused from participating for any reason receive good conduct time. This includes the extra 15 days.
"70th Legislature" offenders are not eligible to earn the "A", "B", or "C" educational credits.
Two things affect an offender's eligibility for release on parole or mandatory supervision. They are:
1. The type of crime the offender was convicted of; and
2. The laws in effect when the crime was committed.
Offender Orientation Handbook 8 FEBRUARY 2017
DEFENDANTS' DISCLOSURE - 0215
Offenders returned to the TDCJ for parole or mandatory supervision violations, whether those violations are for technical violations or new offenses, shall not receive credit for past good conduct time. They start earning new good conduct time from the date of re- arrest. Violators back in the TDCJ shall be assigned to Line Class I status regardless of their previous status. An offender who starts a new sentence without leaving the custody of TDCJ shall retain his time-earning status.
The laws dealing with good conduct time are very complicated. There are many rules that determine how much good conduct time offenders can earn and how it applies toward their sentences. Good conduct time, parole or mandatory supervision statutes do not apply to state jail offenders.
SAFPF offenders are under unique guidelines related to early release and/or parole, and should check with unit administrators for assistance in understanding which, if any, apply to their individual situation.
E. Diligent Participation Credits for State Jail Offenders
State jail offenders, whose offenses occurred on or after September 1, 2011 may be eligible for Diligent Participation Credits. These credits may only be awarded by the sentencing judge based on participation in programs, such as work, education, and treatment.
Diligent participation is defined as (A) successful completion of an educational, vocational, or treatment program; (B) progress toward successful completion of an educational, vocational, or treatment program that was interrupted by illness, injury, or another circumstance outside the control of the defendant; and (C) active involvement in a work program. The law requires TDCJ to report the number of days an offender diligently participates to the sentencing judge no later than 30 days prior to the offender completing 80% of their sentence. Once a state jail felon, who is serving a sentence for an offense committed on or after September 1, 2011, is received by TDCJ, the agency shall report one day of diligent participation for each day in custody, with the following exceptions. Offenders found guilty of a disciplinary offense for refusing to work (25.0); refusing to attend school or complete school assignments (25.1); or refusing to attend or participate in a required treatment program (25.2) shall not be eligible for diligent participation credit for the day(s) of the refusal. Also, offenders assigned to state jail level 4 (J4), state jail level 5 (J5), solitary confinement or SR custody are ineligible for diligent participation credit.
After TDCJ reports the diligent participation days to the sentencing judge, the judge, based on the progress report received, may credit up to 20% of the offender’s sentence for days served as long as the offender was diligently participating in a program and not subject to disciplinary action. The judge is not required to give credit for each or any day of diligent participation. The diligent participation credit, if any, shall be submitted by the sentencing judge to the TDCJ. The TDCJ shall recalculate the maximum discharge date and send notification to the offender. A time credit under this law is a privilege, not a right.
F. Time Credit Dispute Resolution Process
The TDCJ has established a dispute resolution process for offenders who allege their time credits are in error. Complaints regarding time credits cannot be resolved through the offender grievance process.
Offender Orientation Handbook 9 FEBRUARY 2017
DEFENDANTS' DISCLOSURE - 0216
1. Prison Offenders
Offenders shall contact the CRO by submitting an Offender Time Credit Dispute Resolution Form (CL-147) to the CRO.
2. State Jail Offenders
Offenders shall submit the CL-147 form to the unit intake coordinator for resolution.
Upon receipt of correspondence, the CRO or intake coordinator shall investigate the allegations. If a correction to time is made, the offender shall be provided a new time slip or a commitment data form after the correction. If the CRO finds no error in the time- served credits, the offender shall be provided a written statement from the custodian of offender records, certifying the credits to be correct based upon documents received by TDCJ.
Offenders may not file a time-credit error in an application for a Writ of Habeas Corpus until:
1. A final certification decision from the CRO has been received by the offender; or
2. More than 180 days has passed since offender filed the complaint with the Custodian of Offender Records, and no response has been received.
3. Offenders who are within 180 days of their presumptive parole date, date of release to mandatory supervision, or date of discharge may use either this internal time credit dispute resolution procedure, or submit their application directly to the court, if the Writ of Habeas Corpus is not otherwise barred.
G. Individualized Treatment Plan
The Individualized Treatment Plan (ITP) is a plan of treatment for an individual offender. The plan outlines programmatic activities and services for an offender and prioritizes his participation in recommended programs based on the offender’s needs, program availability and applicable parole or discharge date. An offender’s needs for programs are ranked and prioritized to assess the immediacy for placement. Treatment department professionals develop the ITP, interview the offender, assess all available information and record their judgments concerning specific programming needs. Treatment department professionals shall be responsible for tracking and reviewing all offenders newly assigned to TDCJ for ITP reviews within two weeks of the offender’s arrival on the unit. Any conflicts or problems that may arise from ITP recommendations concerning program or job scheduling shall be referred to the UCC for resolution.
The ITP serves to establish institutional conditions required by statute for an offender to be considered for release on parole as defined by Texas Government Code §508.152. The ITP is provided to the Board of Pardons and Paroles during the parole review process. Some of these programs are mandatory and non-attendance can result in disciplinary action, loss of good conduct time or negative parole consideration.
H. Collection of DNA Blood Samples
Government Code § 411.148 requires all TDCJ offenders or offenders incarcerated in a facility under contract with TDCJ to submit a DNA specimen unless such has previously been collected.
Offender Orientation Handbook 10 FEBRUARY 2017
DEFENDANTS' DISCLOSURE - 0217
An offender who refuses to provide a DNA specimen may be charged with Disciplinary Code 24.3, “Refusal to Submit to a DNA Specimen Collection,” and subject to the loss of good time.
If the offender continues to refuse, the TDCJ is authorized to use force in accordance with the TDCJ Use of Force Plan to compel the offender to submit to a DNA specimen collection.

The TDCJ has a zero-tolerance policy regarding sexual abuse and sexual harassment of offenders in TDCJ’s custody. Sexual abuse and sexual harassment of any type on a TDCJ facility is strictly prohibited and shall not be tolerated. Sexual abuse includes sexual contact with an offender by a staff member, contractor, or volunteer or by another offender. This means, all allegations of sexual abuse and sexual harassment whether it is perpetrated by a staff member or another offender shall be thoroughly investigated. Additionally, the TDCJ prohibits retaliation for reporting allegations and/or cooperating with investigations related to sexual abuse and sexual harassment.
B. What is PREA?
In 2003, the federal government enacted the Prison Rape Elimination Act (PREA). The purpose of this Act is to reduce the incidence of sexual abuse by establishing national standards with the goal of eliminating sexual abuse within all confinement facilities across the nation. The TDCJ fully supports the national efforts to eliminate sexual abuse of offenders and has incorporated the PREA standards in the TDCJ policies and procedures.
C. What is Sexual Abuse?
1. Sexual abuse (offender-on-offender) includes any of the following acts performed on an offender by another offender, if the victim does not consent, is coerced into such act by overt or implied threats of violence, or is unable to consent or refuse:

f. Any display by a staff member, contractor, or volunteer of his or her uncovered genitalia, buttocks, or breast in the presence of an offender.
Employees of the TDCJ are strictly prohibited from engaging in sexual conduct with an offender, even if an offender is willing to engage in the act. Employees found in violation of sexual abuse are subject to disciplinary action and/or criminal prosecution.
D. What is Sexual Harassment and Voyeurism?
1. Sexual harassment is:
a. Any repeated and unwelcome sexual advances, requests for sexual favors, or verbal comments, gestures, or actions of a derogatory or offensive sexual nature by one offender directed at another; and
b. Any repeated verbal comments or gestures of a sexual nature to an offender by a staff member, contractor, or volunteer, including demeaning references to gender, sexually suggestive or derogatory comments about body or clothing, or obscene language or gestures.
2. Voyeurism
Voyeurism by a staff member, contractor, or volunteer means an invasion of privacy of an offender by staff for reasons unrelated to official duties, such as peering at an offender who is using the toilet in his or her cell to perform bodily functions; requiring an offender to expose his or her buttocks, genitals, or breasts; or taking images of all or part of an offender’s naked body or of an offender performing bodily functions for the purpose of sexual gratification.
E. Cross Gender “Knock and Announce” Policy

On occasion, male offenders shall be supervised by female correctional officers, and female offenders shall be supervised by male correctional officers. Correctional officers of the opposite gender shall announce their presence before entering a housing area at the beginning of their shift and anytime the gender of supervision changes from same gender, to mixed –or- opposite gender supervision. The announcement applies to both security and non- security staff. Be aware that once the announcement is made, it shall not be repeated during the course of the shift. Offenders shall treat staff of the opposite gender with respect. Any inappropriate behavior or comments directed toward staff of either gender shall be subject to disciplinary action.
Offender Orientation Handbook 27 FEBRUARY 2017
DEFENDANTS' DISCLOSURE - 0234
F. How Does the Safe Prisons/PREA Program Help?
The Safe Prisons/PREA program was established to prevent, detect, and respond to sexual abuse, sexual harassment, extortion, and other acts of violence perpetrated against an offender. The Safe Prisons/PREA Plan and policies provides guidelines necessary to prevent, respond, and investigate acts of aggression. Additionally, the Plan outlines the process of addressing the needs of offenders following an allegation. One of the strategies involved in the Program includes educating offenders to raise awareness regarding the Program and provide direction on methods to prevent and report incidents of sexual abuse or sexual harassment.
G. How Should I Report Threats to my Safety?
1. Offenders are provided with multiple methods to report sexual abuse, sexual harassment and other acts of aggression that may pose a significant threat to your safety. It is important that you begin by telling any staff member, immediately. All staff members have been trained on what to do when they receive reports concerning an offender’s safety. Staff is also instructed to maintain confidentiality by discussing reports with officials on a need to know basis.
2. The PREA Ombudsman is a point of contact for offenders who have complaints or inquiries regarding any allegations of sexual abuse or sexual harassment. Offenders may contact the PREA Ombudsman in writing; however, offender family members and friends may contact the PREA Ombudsman in writing or by phone. You may report allegations verbally or in writing, but keep in mind time is of the essence when reporting sexual abuse. Any delay in reporting shall make investigating an incident more challenging.
3. You may privately and confidentially report incidents of sexual abuse to the agency PREA Ombudsman, who shall initiate an investigation into your claims.
4. A report made in good faith based upon a reasonable belief that the alleged conduct did occur does not constitute lying for the purpose of disciplinary action even if the investigation does not establish evidence sufficient to substantiate (prove the incident occurred) the allegation. Offenders shall not be disciplined for good faith reporting.
5. However, if investigation reveals that an offender knew that the information was false, and made the allegation intentionally or with malice, he or she shall be subject to disciplinary action. This type of behavior is also a violation of the Texas Penal Code.
H. Sexual Abuse Prevention Strategies
The only way that sexual abuse can be eliminated is when a sexual abuse predator chooses not to abuse. However, you can reduce the risk of being victimized by keeping the following guidelines in mind:
1. A successful predator will get to know you and determine your strengths, weaknesses, and needs. For example, if you are new to the prison environment and need items, such as deodorant or toothpaste, and don’t have the money in your account, a predator may offer to buy these things for you as a kind gesture. However, this friendship could be short-lived and the predator may demand sex as repayment. Others may offer protection in return for sexual favors.
Offender Orientation Handbook 28 FEBRUARY 2017
DEFENDANTS' DISCLOSURE - 0235
2. Do not accept commissary items or other gifts from offenders. Placing yourself in debt to another offender can lead to the expectation of repaying the debt with sexual favors.
3. Do not accept an offer from another offender to be your protector.
4. Be alert! Do not use contraband substances such as drugs or alcohol: they can weaken your ability to stay alert and make good judgments.
5. Position yourself in “Safe Zones” or areas where you can see a staff member and the staff member can see you. If you are being pressured for sex, report it to any staff member immediately. The quicker you report the situation, the faster you will be removed from the situation. Don’t try to take matters into your own hands.
6. Be aware of situations that make you feel uncomfortable. Trust your instincts. If it feels wrong, get help, or call out for a staff member.
7. Don’t let your manners or pride get in the way of keeping yourself safe. Don’t be afraid to say “NO” or “STOP IT NOW.”
8. Walk and stand with confidence. Predators generally choose victims who look like they won’t fight back or appear emotionally weak.
9. Avoid talking about sex and casual nudity. These things may be considered a come on, or make another believe that you have an interest in a sexual relationship.
I. What Should You Do If You Are Sexually Abused?
1. Report the abuse to any staff member immediately.
The longer you wait, the more difficult it is to obtain the evidence necessary for a criminal and/or administrative investigation. Request immediate medical attention; you may have serious injuries that you are not aware of, and any sexual contact can expose you to sexually transmitted infections.
a. Do not shower, brush your teeth, use the restroom, or change your clothes. You may destroy important evidence.
b. The first responder shall immediately separate you from the alleged perpetrator and move you to a safe place.
c. You shall be examined by a qualified medical professional and shall receive treatment for any injuries. You may undergo a forensic medical examination utilizing the sexual assault evidence collection kit. This kit allows for the collection of evidence necessary for identifying and prosecuting the alleged perpetrator.
d. Depending on the type of abuse, you may be provided with a community rape crisis advocate (where available) or an offender victim representative (chaplain, psychologist, sociologist, or case manager) to provide emotional support services during the forensic examination and any investigatory interviews. You are not obligated to accept the services; however, it is highly encouraged.
Offender Orientation Handbook 29 FEBRUARY 2017
DEFENDANTS' DISCLOSURE - 0236
e. An offender protection investigation shall be conducted following report of the incident by a correctional officer or staff if the assault was perpetrated by another offender. Additionally, the Office of the Inspector General may investigate the incident for criminal violations.
f. The Office of the Inspector General is generally responsible for conducting investigations regarding staff members who are ranked as a supervisor.

The ITP outlines programmatic activities and services for every individual offender and prioritizes participation in recommended programs based on needs, program availability, and applicable parole or discharge date. The ITP records eligibility for, and participation in, treatment programs aimed at reducing recidivism, improving knowledge, positive social interactions, and life skills.
Every CID offender has an ITP developed for the purposes of providing information to staff when identifying programmatic needs; as a tracking instrument to ensure appropriate placements are made; and to enhance reports to the Board of Pardons and Paroles (BPP) regarding offender program participation. Offenders are required to attend programs specified by the ITP, regardless of their parole eligibility, as the programs are available. The ITP may also be utilized by the Reentry and Integration Division (RID) to enhance reentry planning. Any conflicts or problems that may arise from ITP recommendations concerning a program or job scheduling is referred to the UCC for resolution.
The ITP serves to establish institutional conditions required by statute for an offender to be considered for release on parole as defined by Texas Government Code, Section 508.152. Some of these programs are mandatory and non- attendance can result in disciplinary action, loss of good conduct time or negative parole consideration.

shall be paid by the offender at registration from personal funds or by other financial aid arrangements between the offender and the college or university.
College vocational courses are available on a wide variety of units. Offenders are placed on a waiting list for the requested vocational course. Offenders with the least amount of time remaining on his/her sentence receive priority placement in the requested course. Offenders housed on a unit that does not offer the vocational training course for which they qualify shall be placed on a waiting list. The RPD Operations Department in Huntsville shall request unit transfers for offenders through the SCC. The SCC makes all decisions on unit assignments. An offender may participate in two college-level vocational courses while incarcerated. Only one college vocational course may be taken while the offender is outside of 5 years of a projected release or maximum expiration date.
Minimum requirements for enrollment in college vocational programs are:
a. A verified high school diploma, GED or at least 12 hours of transferable college credit from an accredited institution;
b. Appropriate composite TABE score;
c. Appropriate classification and disciplinary status;
d. Appropriate release date for course completion; and

Offender Orientation Handbook 46 FEBRUARY 2017
DEFENDANTS' DISCLOSURE - 0253
At times, volunteers help Chaplains with their duties. Volunteer groups also come into the prison to sing, preach, teach, and to provide other help.
News about religious programs is posted on unit bulletin boards. Leaflets may also be distributed that announce programs. Sometimes, offenders may hear about a program or service from other offenders. All eligible offenders may attend the unit services. If an offender is sick, in administrative segregation or solitary, he may have a chaplain or volunteer visit.
12. Sex Offender Rehabilitation Programs and Evaluation
The Sex Offender Rehabilitation Programs (SOTP) are located on various TDCJ units throughout the State of Texas. The SOTP conducts evaluations and offers sex offender rehabilitation services for both male and female offenders.
a. Minimum requirements for eligibility are:
(1) G2 or G3 custody.
(2) Within 15-24 months of release.
(3) Appropriate parole vote (FI-18R, 9R, or 4R)
b. Sex Offender Treatment Program (SOTP-18)
The SOTP-18 is a high intensity treatment program for sex offenders who have been assessed to pose a high sexual re-offense risk. Participants may be required to attend sex offender treatment for the duration of their supervision after release.
c. Sex Offender Treatment Program (SOTP-9)
The SOTP-9 is a moderate intensity treatment program for sex offenders who have been assessed to pose a moderate sexual re-offense risk. Participants may be required to attend sex offender treatment for the duration of their supervision after release.
d. Sex Offender Education Program (SOEP-4)
The SOEP-4 is a 4-month didactic for sex offenders who are determined to pose a low risk to sexually re-offend after their release from TDCJ. Participants may be required to attend sex offender treatment for the duration of their supervision after release.
e. Risk Assessment
The TDCJ has established a process to assess the risk a sex offender poses to the community. Assigned risk levels are “High,” “Moderate,” or “Low.” The basic measures for assessing risk-level are “Static” and “Dynamic.”
The Static measure uses the STATIC-99R (Revised). This instrument utilizes static (unchangeable) factors that have been correlated with sexual reconviction in adult males and is completed for all offenders required to register as a sex offender prior to release from the TDCJ.
Offender Orientation Handbook 47 FEBRUARY 2017
DEFENDANTS' DISCLOSURE - 0254
The Dynamic measure uses the STATIC-99R plus two additional instruments (typically through an interview process). Combined, these yield a “dynamic” level which takes into account factors such as education and treatment, allowing for a variable risk level. A Dynamic Risk Assessment (DRA) is completed for all offenders serving a sentence for which sex offender registration is required prior to release from the TDCJ.
13. Civil Commitment of Sexually Violent Predators
In 1999, the Texas Legislature passed a law that provides for the civil commitment of sexually violent predators. The law requires that if an offender has two or more convictions for one of the following sex offenses, he should be referred for civil commitment consideration: aggravated sexual assault, sexual assault, indecency with a child by contact, aggravated kidnapping with the intent to commit a sex offense, or burglary of a habitation with the intent to commit a sex offense. In addition, the attempt, conspiracy, or solicitation to commit one of these offenses is a qualifying offense. Similar offenses committed in other states, under federal law or the Uniform Code of Military Justice also qualify, as do adjudications of delinquency in juvenile court for these types of offenses. In addition, a finding of not guilty by reason of insanity (NGRI) for one of these offenses coupled with a conviction for one of these offenses qualifies an offender, as does two findings of NGRI. Successfully completed probations or deferred adjudications count as final convictions for purposes of civil commitment. The offender shall be currently serving a conviction for one of these offenses.
The Texas civil commitment process is based on outpatient treatment and supervision. The Office of Violent Sex Offender Management (OVSOM) is responsible for case management and treatment services.
Sex offenders who are within 16 months of their scheduled release date are transferred to the SOTP for an evaluation, and their case is presented to the Multidisciplinary Team (MDT). The MDT is jointly appointed by the Executive Director of TDCJ and the Commissioner of the Texas Department of Mental Health and Mental Retardation (MHMR) and includes representation for the TDCJ, OVSOM, MHMR, OVSOM and Texas Department of Public Safety (DPS). The team determines whether the offender has been convicted of two qualifying offenses and whether the offender is likely to commit a sexually violent offense after release or discharge. If the team determines that re-offense is likely, they shall recommend that the offender be seen by an expert. If the expert determines that the offender has a behavioral abnormality that makes him likely to commit a predatory act of sexual violence after release or discharge, the case may be referred to the Special Prosecution Unit for consideration. If a petition is filed, the offender shall receive a copy. State Counsel for Offenders shall be appointed to represent indigent offenders.
a. Offense Codes Requiring Registration
In Chapter 62 of the Texas Code of Criminal Procedure, “reportable conviction or adjudication” is a conviction or adjudication, including an adjudication of delinquent conduct or a deferred adjudication, regardless of the pendency of an appeal, for:
(1) A violation of Penal Code §§ 21.02 (continuous sexual abuse of a young child or children); 21.11 (indecency with a child), 22.011

(5) A violation of Penal Code §§ 20.02 (unlawful restraint), 20.03 (kidnapping), or 20.04 (aggravated kidnapping), if the judgment contains an affirmative finding under art. 42.015, Texas Code of Criminal Procedure that the victim was younger than 17 years of age at the time of the offense or the order in the hearing or the papers in the case contain an affirmative finding that the victim or intended victim was younger than 17 years of age;
(6) The second violation of Penal Code § 21.08 (indecent exposure, unless the second violation results in a deferred adjudication);
(7) An attempt, conspiracy, or solicitation, as defined by Penal Code §§ 15.01-.03, to commit an offense or engage in conduct listed in a-e, or k;
(8) A violation under the laws of another state, the United States, a foreign country, or the Uniform Code of Military Justice (UCMJ) for an offense containing elements that are substantially similar to the elements of an offense listed in a-e, g or j-k, unless the violation results in a deferred adjudication;
(9) A second violation under the laws of another state, the United States, a foreign country, or the UCMJ for an offense containing elements that are substantially similar to the elements of an offense of indecent exposure, unless the second violation results in a deferred adjudication;
(10) A violation of Penal Code § 33.021 (online solicitation of a minor, except for a violation under subsection (b)); or
(11) A violation of Penal Code §§ 20A.02(a) (3), (4), (7), or (8) (trafficking of persons).
14. Sex Offender Registration Program Information
Sex offender registration is required in all 50 states. Offenders convicted of certain sexual offenses on or after September 1, 1970, are required by law to register with local law enforcement authorities. TDCJ shall complete the registration paperwork at the time of your release from prison and send it to the Department of Public Safety (DPS) and local law enforcement agency in the
Offender Orientation Handbook 49 FEBRUARY 2017
DEFENDANTS' DISCLOSURE - 0256
community where you shall live. Within 7 days of your release, you shall report to the local law enforcement agency and verify the information. Failure to do so may result in a new felony conviction.
TDCJ shall also indicate your risk level on the registration form. If you are noted as high risk and were convicted of a sex offense on or after January 1, 2000, your neighbors will receive a post card about your release to the community. Information can be printed in the newspaper on certain sex offenders at the discretion of local law enforcement and shall be available on the DPS website regardless of risk level.
Your parole officer will be able to answer questions concerning the Texas Sex Offender Registration Program.
15. Orchiectomy
The RPD coordinates requests for an Orchiectomy, which is another term for surgical castration. An offender may request this procedure if convicted of (1) Continuous Sexual Abuse of Young Child or Children, (2) Indecency with a Child, (3) Sexual Assault of a Child, or (4) Aggravated Sexual Assault of a Child, and has been previously convicted of one of those offenses. The offender shall be 21 years of age or older, submit the request in writing, and sign a statement admitting guilt for the offenses for which he has been convicted. He shall be placed in the 18-month SOTP which shall be completed before the surgery shall be performed.
During the course of treatment, a psychiatrist and psychologist shall evaluate the offender to determine suitability for the procedure, and counsel the offender before he undergoes the procedure. In addition, a monitor appointed by the Texas State Board of Medical Examiners shall consult with the offender to ensure that medical professionals have provided adequate information regarding surgical castration and that the offender has not been coerced to have the procedure performed.
An offender can change his mind at any time before actually undergoing the procedure. However, once an offender has requested the surgery but later decides not to proceed, he shall no longer be eligible for the surgery at any time in the future. The request for, or completion of, surgical castration has absolutely no influence on parole consideration, favorable or otherwise. The Board of Pardons and Paroles cannot require that an offender receive an Orchiectomy as a condition of release.
If you are a qualifying sex offender interested in this procedure, please send an I- 60 to the RPD-SORP.
16. Substance Abuse Treatment Programs
The Substance Abuse Treatment Programs provide evidence-based substance abuse treatment services appropriate to the needs of individual offenders by utilizing assessment tools developed specifically for the populations served. Treatment goals for all of the substance abuse programs include rehabilitation, recovery, and reduction of recidivism.
Offender Orientation Handbook 50 FEBRUARY 2017
DEFENDANTS' DISCLOSURE - 0257
17. Driving While Intoxicated (DWI) Program
The 6-month DWI program is for prison offenders identified as needing intensive treatment for DWI offenses. This program blends evidence-based practices that focus on alternatives to drinking and driving, alcohol addiction and abuse, victim awareness, medical effects, lifestyles, stress, assertion, cognitive therapy, journaling, etc.
Offenders with an active DWI conviction may be placed in the program by parole- vote or by the State Classification Committee (SCC).

There are spiritual and motivational support groups, such as Quest for Authentic Manhood, Breaking Free, and Making Peace with Your Past. These and many others provide faith and non-faith based support to improve life skills, decision- making skills and self-worth. Eligible offenders may participate in these groups regardless of their faith affiliation.
24. Volunteer Programs
The TDCJ places a significant focus on volunteer services, realizing volunteers are essential to the rehabilitation of offenders, as well as to their reentry into the community. Volunteers assist by providing literacy and educational programs, life skills training, job skills training, parent-training, health awareness, prevention training, arts and crafts, drug and alcohol groups, faith-based programming, and other activities that improve institutional adjustment, aid in the transition between confinement and society, and reduce recidivism.
25. Youthful Offender COURAGE Program
Prison offenders ages 14 to 17 are placed in the Youthful Offender COURAGE (Challenge Opportunity Understanding Respect Acceptance Growth Education) Program after initial intake. While housed on the program unit, in addition to school and work assignments, the offender shall participate in one of two tracks. One track is designated for those who will be releasing from TDCJ to community and the other to those who will be releasing to general population within TDCJ. Both tracks function with a level system: the higher the offender advances in levels is directly related to the privileges that may be received.
Youthful offenders are housed in TDCJ prisons and state jails that are equipped with Youthful Offender Programs. Youthful offenders identified with special needs shall be assigned to an appropriate facility designed to meeting their needs; such as offenders who are mentally impaired or physically disabled.
Offender Orientation Handbook 52 FEBRUARY 2017
DEFENDANTS' DISCLOSURE - 0259
G. State Counsel for Offenders
State Counsel for Offenders (SCFO) can provide independent legal counsel to indigent offenders incarcerated in TDCJ-CID. This service is only for offenders who cannot afford to pay an attorney to assist them with their legal problems. SCFO operates independently of TDCJ and all legal correspondence between an offender and SCFO is confidential under the laws concerning attorney-client privileges.
There are five legal sections within SCFO: Criminal Defense, Appellate, Civil Defense, Immigration and General Legal. These sections perform the following functions:
1. The Criminal Defense Section represents indigent offenders who are indicted for felonies allegedly committed while incarcerated within TDCJ-CID. Legal assistants and investigators assist attorneys in this section. Investigators shall frequently visit with offenders first to gather information about the alleged crime, interview witnesses and take photographs. Attorneys shall represent the offender in all court appearances, file all necessary motions, obtain plea agreements, and try the case.
NOTE: Correspondence with SCFO employees about the case is privileged and confidential. Any other communication between an offender and other people (including other offenders) is NOT confidential and can be used against the offender during a trial or other administrative proceeding.
2. The Appellate Section assists indigent offenders who need help with appeals and writs. If the offender represented by a Criminal Defense Section attorney is convicted of a crime, SCFO may pursue an appeal on behalf of the offender. If the appellate section pursues the case, they shall prepare briefs and argue the case before the appropriate appellate courts.
Attorneys shall also assist offenders who discover substantial errors in their convictions. It is important for the offender to be very specific about the error that was made in the case. Most errors will not result in a reversal of the case or the right to a new trial. Attorneys may assist offenders by researching whether there is a valid, provable legal reason to file a writ of habeas corpus or a direct appeal to either set aside or modify the conviction or sentence.
Legal Assistants working under the direction of the Appellate Section investigate time credit issues to determine whether an offender is receiving all their time credits. Offenders who feel TDCJ is improperly computing their time credits should first use the Dispute Resolution Process to resolve the error.
NOTE: The Dispute Resolution Process cannot resolve jail time credit problems brought about by mistakes on the Judgment and Sentence that is holding them in custody. Offenders who feel the judge failed to award enough jail time credit on the judgment should skip the Dispute Resolution Process.
3. The Civil Defense Section represents indigent offenders facing commitment under Chapter 841 of the Health and Safety Code, commonly known as the Sexually Violent Predator (SVP) statute. Attorneys, legal assistants and investigators work together to help provide a defense to civil commitment. Attorneys shall handle all parts of the case, including discovery, depositions and trial. If an offender is civilly committed, the Appellate Section shall determine whether there are any issues to appeal. Under some circumstances SCFO may
Offender Orientation Handbook 53 FEBRUARY 2017
DEFENDANTS' DISCLOSURE - 0260
continue its representation of the offender in the appellate process, and during biennial reviews.
4. The Immigration Section assists indigent offenders who are scheduled to appear before the Immigration Judge as part of a removal proceeding, formerly known as “deportation.” SCFO shall receive a notice if a TDCJ-CID offender is the subject of a removal proceeding and shall visit the offender upon the offender’s arrival at a Huntsville unit for the removal hearing. If the attorney determines the offender has a defense to removal, SCFO shall represent the offender during the removal proceeding.
The Immigration section shall also assist offenders interested in the Prisoner Exchange Program. That program allows offenders to serve the remainder of their sentences in their own country. Not all countries participate in the program.
Any offender who has questions about an immigration issue may write to SCFO for information.
5. The Legal Services Section provides assistance for matters not covered by one of the other sections. Attorneys in this section can assist offenders with pending charge problems, detainers, and probation revocation waivers. They can also provide answers to questions about civil actions, powers of attorney, expunctions, divorces, termination of parental rights and proxy marriages. Basic information about all these topics is included in the State Counsel for Offenders (SCFO) Legal Handbook . Offenders should consult the SCFO Legal Handbook before writing SCFO for assistance. The SCFO Legal Handbook is available in every unit law library.
6. Innocence and Wrongful Convictions
Chapter 13 of the SCFO Legal Handbook deals primarily with innocence claims. Offenders are offered contact information for various innocence projects throughout the State of Texas. The Texas Prisoner Innocence Questionnaire (TPIQ) is designed to allow the offender to provide as much information as possible about the case so that the prospective innocence project can decide whether it is a viable case or one worthy of pursuit. Legal materials addressing both innocence and wrongful conviction are available in the law library.
7. Prisoner’s Civil Rights
Claims of alleged civil rights violations are addressed in Chapter 1 - Introduction, Section 1.4, Areas Beyond State Counsel for Offenders' Scope of Assistance in the SCFO Legal Handbook . Offenders are informed of a number of areas, including civil rights claims and conditions of confinement or supervision that are outside of the scope of SCFO representation. A number of other areas also are listed under Section 1.4, including internal TDCJ matters, disciplinary actions, classification disputes, grievances, and parole matters. Offenders are encouraged to seek outside counsel or to pursue the matter on their own. Legal materials addressing this topic are available in the law library.
8. How Offenders Can Get Help
Offenders who want help with legal problems should first consult the SCFO Legal Handbook . The SCFO Legal Handbook contains valuable information, along with sample pleadings and letters, that can help answer many legal questions. Offenders who need help using the SCFO Legal Handbook should ask the Law
Offender Orientation Handbook 54 FEBRUARY 2017
DEFENDANTS' DISCLOSURE - 0261
Librarian. If the SCFO Legal Handbook does not answer the offender’s question, the offender should write SCFO with the specific issue or problem they are having by using an I-60. If the issue or problem cannot be adequately explained on the I-60, the offender should write on regular paper, place the contents in an envelope marked “Truck Mail” and send the letter to SCFO.
It helps speed up the process if the offender places the correct section (Criminal Defense, Appellate, Civil Defense, Immigration or Legal Services) on the correspondence. If the offender’s problem involves time credits and the Dispute Resolution Process was not successful in resolving the issue, the offender should obtain a Jail Time Questionnaire form from the Law Librarian, fill it out, and send it to SCFO.
Offenders shall contact SCFO directly – the request for help cannot come from friends or family members. ALL REQUESTS MUST HAVE THE OFFENDER’S NAME AND TDCJ NUMBER. If that information is missing, SCFO cannot help the offender.
SCFO CANNOT assist offenders with civil rights issues, disputes about TDCJ policy or procedures, fee-generating cases, or parole decisions. For help with those issues please see Chapter 1 of the SCFO Legal Handbook .
H. Ombudsman Program
In accordance with Section 493.016 of the Texas Government Code, the TDCJ Ombudsman Program provides a single point of contact for elected officials and members of the general public who have inquiries regarding the agency, offenders or staff. When necessary, investigations shall be coordinated through appropriate TDCJ officials. The TDCJ Ombudsman Office strives to provide timely responses to the public. The Ombudsman office is for offender family members, friends, and the public. The appropriate channel for offenders to use is the offender grievance process.
1. An Ombudsman can do the following:
a. Act as a liaison between TDCJ and the general public;
b. Respond to informational inquiries regarding agency policies, procedures, or actions;
c. Respond to questions concerning a specific offender;
d. Facilitate problem resolution;
e. Make appropriate referrals to agency staff; and
f. Act as a contact and information resource for special interest groups
2. An Ombudsman cannot:
a. Override decisions made by appropriate authorities (i.e., Judges, Board of Criminal Justice, Office of Inspector General, etc.); or
b. Handle issues outside the oversight of the Texas Department of Criminal Justice.
Offender Orientation Handbook 55 FEBRUARY 2017
DEFENDANTS' DISCLOSURE - 0262
I. Language Assistance (Asistencia de Lenguaje)
The TDCJ provides language assistance in several program and service areas for offenders who speak only Spanish or who are very limited in their ability to speak English. Those services included are:
1. Grievance Procedure
Offenders who are involved in the grievance procedure and need language assistance because they are having difficulty understanding the Grievance response should contact a Spanish Staff Interpreter to request language assistance.
2. Disciplinary Process
Offenders involved in the disciplinary process who need language assistance shall be provided such assistance as required. The counsel substitute assists offenders in preparing for the hearing by gathering witness statements, securing any relevant documentary evidence and other relevant information as necessary. The counsel substitute shall represent the offender during the hearing.
3. Documents in Spanish
The TDCJ provides many documents and informational notices in Spanish. If an offender needs a document or notice in Spanish, he should contact a Spanish Staff Interpreter who shall determine if the information is already available in Spanish and get the offender a copy, if appropriate.
4. Law Library
Offenders in need of language assistance in the law library should contact the Law Library Supervisor.
5. State Counsel for Offenders
Offenders who need language assistance to communicate with a state counsel attorney or paralegal should contact the unit law library and request language assistance.
6. Windham School District
The Windham School District offers English as a Second language at a number of facilities for offenders who speak little or no English.
J. Correspondence Rules
Offenders may send and receive mail while in the TDCJ. There are four types of correspondence including general, special, legal and media correspondence.
Offenders may send letters to as many people as they choose. Offenders shall go through the TDCJ to receive and send mail. Mail may not be smuggled in or out of TDCJ units or facilities. All rules for sending and receiving mail shall be followed.
Offenders should tell their family and friends to address their letters with the offender's name, number and unit address. Offenders may not get packages from friends and family. Offenders may receive approved publications, such as magazines, books or
Offender Orientation Handbook 56 FEBRUARY 2017
DEFENDANTS' DISCLOSURE - 0263
newspapers, from the publisher or store that sells them. Offenders may not receive packages containing writing paper. Stationery shall be purchased through the commissary, provided through the indigent supply program or purchased by offender families and friends through the eCommDirect program.
Offenders may not receive cash on delivery (COD) items or packages with payment on approval from any source. Offenders may not receive money, stamps, or other negotiable items in the mail.
Offenders may buy stamps and writing paper in the commissary. Offenders with less than $5 in their trust fund may request correspondence supplies. The mailroom or law library provides this service. Rules for getting postage stamps or paper are posted on each unit.
Each unit has a mailroom. TDCJ employees staff the mailroom. No offender may handle the mail of another offender. An offender with questions about the mail should see a mailroom supervisor.
The rules governing offender correspondence are found in Chapter 3 of this handbook. Read them closely.
K. Visitation
It is the policy of the TDCJ to enable and encourage offenders, consistent with security and classification restraints, to have visits with family members and friends. Visitation within a TDCJ unit shall be conducted in an accommodating manner, in keeping with the need to maintain order, the safety of persons, and the security of the unit. All offender vis it s (except for attorney-clients visits) are subject to electronic monitoring. Offender visits are conducted in accordance with the provisions of the TDCJ Offender Visitation Plan and under the direction of the warden.
While it is recognized that visitation is an integral component of the rehabilitation process and every effort shall be made to ensure that visits are conducted under the least restrictive protocol available, offenders shall not be assigned to a unit solely for convenience of visitation privileges. While it is recognized that unit assignments may create hardships for visitation, these assignments are based on many considerations in addition to offender or family convenience.
For general and contact visitation rules, refer to the Offender Visitation Rules in Chapter 2 of this handbook. For information on legal visits, refer to the Access to Courts Rules in Chapter 4.

DEFENDANTS' DISCLOSURE - 0272
The Inmate Trust Fund department can respond to questions regarding deposit receipt, but other information concerning the offender’s account activity can only be released to the offender. Offenders receive monthly bank statements itemizing account transactions.
Personal checks are not accepted and shall be returned to the sender or destroyed. Sending cash through the mail is not permitted. Money orders and cashier checks of $500 or more, insurance checks and company checks require two weeks to clear before the offender can use the funds. The Inmate Trust Fund does not pay interest. Therefore, the account should hold no more than what is required to meet the offender’s immediate needs. Offenders with excess funds are encouraged to open a savings account with a banking facility of their choice.
The Inmate Trust Fund does not forward personal mail or other items sent with money deposits. Packages for offenders received at Offender Trust Fund shall be refused and returned at the sender’s expense.
An Inmate Trust Fund Account is held under the authority of TDCJ. Anyone who deposits or maintains funds in an Inmate Trust Fund thereby agrees to be bound by agency policies concerning such funds which are in effect at the time these funds are placed in the account or thereafter. These policies include the forfeiture and disposition of the contents of such accounts. The agency may decide what funds shall be deposited, what funds may be withdrawn and to whom these funds may be paid.
In general, offenders may not receive gifts or fees from other offenders. A deposit from one offender to another may be made only by transfer from one Inmate Trust Fund (ITF) account to another and shall have unit administrative approval. This approval shall be obtained even if the depositing offender has made previous deposits to the receiving offender’s account.
Deposits from one offender to another, processed through an outside person or bank, are considered a violation of the TDCJ “Trafficking and Trading Rules” regardless of whether accepted for deposit or received by the ITF Department. Suspected violations shall result in an investigation. Confirmed violations of deposits between offenders may result in disciplinary action against any offenders involved in any unauthorized transactions, whether depositors or recipients. If an offender reports unauthorized transactions that are afterward determined to be in violation of the stated policy and voluntarily signs a wavier for forfeiture of the funds received, no disciplinary action shall be taken.
Moreover, funds gained through extortion (by coercion, deception, or violence) may be forfeited. If an offender is found guilty of extorting money that has been deposited in his trust fund account, or has been received without authorization as described above, the offender shall forfeit title to the funds.
O. ID Cards
Normally, within two to seven days after an offender is received, he shall be issued an identification card. The ID card shall be used for commissary purchases, dispensing of medication, meals served, access to authorized areas within the unit and participation in various programs as well as other general security requirements. Offenders are required to carry their ID card at all times. It is the responsibility of every offender to immediately notify the security office, Commissary Officer or warden's office if his ID card is lost, stolen or damaged. The ID card is property of the state and is furnished as identification for offenders. The ID card may become the offender's property upon parole, discharge or mandatory supervision, if needed for identification. Offenders shall give or show their ID cards when asked by a correctional officer or staff. Offenders shall be charged five
Offender Orientation Handbook 66 FEBRUARY 2017
DEFENDANTS' DISCLOSURE - 0273
dollars for lost or damaged ID cards; the fee shall be collected from the offender’s Trust Fund account. If the warden determines the offender should not be charged a replacement fee for the lost card due to special circumstances, then it should be noted at the bottom of the ITF-8 by checking “Do Not Charge” box.
Pursuant to AD 03.83 “TDCJ Offenders who Refuse To Comply with Grooming Standards” ID cards shall not be issued to offenders not complying with agency grooming standards.
It is a violation of the TDCJ offender rules and regulations for any offender to:
1. Not be in possession of his ID card. If an offender does not have his ID card with him, it shall be considered a refusal or failure to obey orders;
2. Willfully damage, change the appearance of the card, abuse or destroy one's own or another offender's ID card. Such actions are considered as damaging or destroying property belonging to the state, or another offender;
3. Be in possession of any other offender's ID card. Offenders in possession of another offender's ID card are considered possessing contraband or unauthorized property;
4. Use or try to use another offender's ID card for any purpose. Offenders who try to use another offender's ID card are considered in possession of contraband or unauthorized property, or stealing property belonging to the state or another offender;
5. Use, try to use or conspire to use any counterfeit, fictitious, altered, forged, lost, stolen or fraudulently obtained ID card for any purpose, knowing the same to be counterfeit, fictitious, altered, forged, lost, stolen or fraudulently obtained. Offenders who commit these offenses are considered stealing property belonging to the state, or another offender;
6. Receive or try to receive money, goods or any item of value by use of another offender's ID card or by use of a counterfeit, fictitious, altered, forged, lost, stolen or fraudulently obtained identification card. Offenders who knowingly commit these offenses are considered stealing property belonging to the state or another offender; or
7. Give or loan an ID card to another offender so that offender can obtain, or attempt to obtain, extra benefits through use of another card. Offenders who loan or give their ID cards to another offender are considered trafficking and trading contraband/commodities.
Violations of these rules subject an offender to disciplinary proceedings and penalties in accordance with the Disciplinary Rules and Procedures.
P. Commissary
Commissaries are stores within the prison where items not furnished by the state may be purchased. The ID card given to offenders can be used to make commissary purchases, as long as they have funds in the Inmate Trust Fund to cover their purchases and they are not on commissary restriction as the result of disciplinary action.

The I-60 can be sent through truck mail or placed in the appropriate box on the unit. A response, an appointment or some action should be made to the I-60 as soon as possible by the appropriate department or individual.

Privileges and activities are restricted only to the degree necessary to
Offender Orientation Handbook 70 FEBRUARY 2017

protect the security of the unit, other offenders, and the unit staff. The length of time an area is locked down is determined by the continued behavior of the affected offenders.

IX. PAROLE INFORMATION
A. Parole Information
Parole is a privilege, not a right! Parole is the discretionary and conditional release of an eligible offender from physical custody of a jail or prison if the offender agrees to serve the remainder of his sentence under the supervision of the Parole Division.
Some requirements for an offender to be released on parole are: (a) serves sufficient time as required by law [Tex. Gov’t. Code § 508.145]; (b) is not a risk to public safety; and (c) meets work, program participation, and behavior standards.
Offenders approved for parole are allowed to leave the TDCJ and serve the remainder of their sentences under the supervision of parole officers. Offenders who are approved for parole may be released during their initial parole eligibility month/year (FI-1); may be released during a specified month which is beyond their initial parole eligibility month/year (FI-2); may be transferred to a Pre-Parole Transfer facility and released on a specified month/year which is beyond their initial parole eligibility date (FI-4); or may be transferred to an In-Prison Therapeutic Community (IPTC) for substance abuse treatment (FI-5).
The Board of Pardons and Paroles (BPP) has also passed parole vote options that require rehabilitation treatment programs for certain offenders prior to parole. Specific categories include FI-3R, FI-6R, FI-7R, and FI-18R. The numerical identifier in the vote (3, 6 and 18) reflects the number of months the offender shall serve beyond a specified release date, which shall be set by the BPP.
An offender approved for parole under an FI-5 or any of the FI-R votes shall be reevaluated by the BPP if he fails to complete the treatment program successfully. Offenders who are not approved for parole may be given new BPP review dates (Next Review Dates).
Offenders who are denied parole and are given serve-alls shall be released to Mandatory Supervision (MS) on their Projected Release Dates (minimum expiration dates). If an offender has no Projected Release Date and is given a serve-all, he shall serve his / her entire sentence in calendar time and shall be discharged from the TDCJ on his/her maximum expiration date.
If the offender is incarcerated for an offense that occurred on or after 9-1-96, and is not approved for parole release, the offender’s file shall be reviewed by the BPP for possible release to mandatory supervision (RMS) or denial of release to mandatory supervision (DMS).
Offenders who are denied release to mandatory supervision (DMS) shall be given a new BPP review date (Next Review Date). The review process shall be done 30 days prior to the next review date. Offenders denied release to mandatory supervision (DMS) shall receive annual BPP review until receipt of approval for release on mandatory supervision (RMS) or upon release on expiration of their sentence on their maximum expiration date. Offenders whose offenses occurred prior to 9-1-96, who are denied parole and receive a serve-all from the BPP shall be released to mandatory supervision on their Projected Release Date (minimum expiration date). If the offender is serving consecutive sentences, he may be approved for parole on a specific cause number that is eligible for review (CU-FI) or the BPP may deny parole for a specific cause number (CU-NR).
Parole and Mandatory Supervision allow an offender to be released from custody to the supervision of a Parole Division District Parole Officer. Parole and Mandatory
Offender Orientation Handbook 76 FEBRUARY 2017
DEFENDANTS' DISCLOSURE - 0283
Supervision rules are the same. In order to complete the required period of Parole or Mandatory Supervision, the releasee shall meet the requirements of supervision.
In addition to the General Conditions of parole and mandatory supervision, the BPP may also impose Special Conditions requiring treatment and other program participation, travel and contact restrictions, and restitution reimbursement, Electronic Monitoring may also be imposed by the BPP. Discharge from Parole or Mandatory Supervision occurs on the maximum expiration date of the offender’s sentence.
B. The Parole Interview
Offenders do not have to apply for parole or mandatory release consideration. Offenders do not have to hire attorneys or parole consultants to represent them in the parole process or to check on their parole status.
All offenders shall receive initial parole interviews regardless of disciplinary status (good time lost/class demotion); however, to be eligible for subsequent parole interviews offenders shall be classified in the same or higher time earning status assigned to them when they entered TDCJ and shall not have had any major disciplinary infractions in the six-month period prior to the dates they are reviewed for parole which resulted in loss of good time or reduction in class below entry level.
During the parole interview, offenders are given the opportunity to present parole release plans and employment plans. Release Plans to their family and friends are preferable due to limited halfway house space available.
The law [Tex. Gov’t Code § 508.181] requires that offenders shall reside in their Legal County of Residence after release. Legal County of Residence is defined as the county where the offender was living when he committed the present offense. If an offender is incarcerated for multiple offenses, the legal county of residence is determined by the residence at the time of the most recent present offense.
Offenders who are called to the unit parole office should bring the names, complete addresses, including accurate zip codes and phone numbers of the person(s) in the Legal County of Residence with whom they intend to reside while on Parole or Mandatory Supervision. If the offender cannot provide addresses in his/her Legal County of Residence, alternate addresses (including out-of-state release plans) may be submitted and the BPP shall decide whether or not to allow the offender to be released to a non- county of residence.
Out-of-state plans shall be accepted by the state to which placement has been requested (via Interstate Compact Agreement). Since all parole plans are verified by parole officers, it is important for them to be provided with complete and accurate addresses and phone numbers (home, work, day, night, and weekend phone numbers) so they can quickly verify each offender’s parole plan.
The BPP may require electronic monitoring as a condition of release. In the event this condition is imposed, special equipment shall be installed in the residence. Prior to the offender’s release, the sponsor shall sign an agreement to remove all features from the phones (call forwarding, caller ID, call waiting, etc). The BPP may require halfway house placement as a special condition of an offender’s release.
When an offender has been interviewed for parole consideration, a report is submitted to the BPP for a decision. When a decision is reached, the offender is informed of the decision. Remember, offenders do not have to apply for parole consideration. An offender DOES NOT have to be in physical custody of TDCJ to be paroled. Texas law
Offender Orientation Handbook 77 FEBRUARY 2017
DEFENDANTS' DISCLOSURE - 0284
authorizes Parole in Absentia (PIA). PIA is the parole release of TDCJ sentenced offenders from other holding facilities, including jails, contract facilities, and federal/other state prisons.

OFFENDER VISITATION RULES AND REGULATIONS
INTRODUCTION
The Texas Department of Criminal Justice (TDCJ or Agency) encourages offender visits consistent with security and classification guidelines. Offender visitation in TDCJ units shall be conducted in an accommodating manner, in keeping with the need to maintain order, safety of persons and security of the unit. However, visitation is a privilege and may be temporarily restricted for an offender or a visitor, if rule violations occur or security concerns exist. Visitation may also be temporarily discontinued during lockdowns and other serious incidents, such as escape, health related concerns or riot. The temporary vis it at ion s uspension shall be posted on the TDCJ website. Offender visitation is managed under the direction of each warden, and in accordance with the rules and guidelines outlined below in accordance with the TDCJ Offender Visitation Plan. All offender visits covered by the TDCJ Offender Visitation Plan are subject to be electronically monitored. Unless otherwise noted, these rules and guidelines apply to both general (non-contact) visits and contact visits.
Effective, April 21, 2014, the TDCJ developed and implemented an online process in which family and friends are able to check an offender’s eligibility status to receive visits. The following steps shall allow family and friends to look up an offender’s visitation eligibility.

A. Periods of Visitation
Except as limited by this policy, an offender may have a visit from an attorney or designated representative on business days for any length of time between 8:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m., including lunch and dinner hours. In cases where there is a compelling circumstance, the warden or designee may permit the visit to extend past 5:00 p.m. On Saturdays, Sundays, and state and national holidays, attorneys or designated representatives may visit subject to the rules governing non-attorney visits. At the warden’s discretion, an attorney seeking to visit an offender on death row on a non- business day may be permitted to do so if the attorney offers a reasonable explanation, without violating the attorney-client or work product privileges, why the visit shall occur before the first business day following the date of the requested visit.
B. Notice
By 3:30 p.m. of the business day immediately preceding the date that an attorney or designated representative wishes to visit an offender, the attorney shall give the name and profession of each visitor, the name of each offender to be visited, and an estimated arrival time to the warden or designee of the offender’s unit of assignment . The attorney shall also give the estimated time at which the attorney or designated representative would like to visit each offender in the case of multiple offenders assigned to the same unit. After the attorney or designated representative has arrived at the unit and provided proper identification, the warden or designee shall produce the offender for the visit without unreasonable delay.
C. Identification
This section does not apply to SCFO attorneys or employees of the Office of the Attorney General
1. Attorneys
Attorneys shall satisfactorily identify themselves to the warden or designee and complete and sign a copy of the I-163, Attorney Application to Visit TDCJ Offender. An attorney bar card and either a driver’s license, identification (ID) card issued by a governmental agency that includes a photograph, or United States passport are satisfactory ID.

2. Designated Representatives
Once written authorization to serve as an attorney’s designated representative has been filed with and approved by the TDCJ, upon arrival at the unit and before the visit, the representative shall present satisfactory ID, either a driver license, ID card issued by a governmental agency that includes a photograph, or a United States passport, to the warden or designee and provide a copy of the I- 166, Attorney Authorization for Approved Representative to Visit TDCJ Offender. If the attorney has already provided the unit with the I-166 form, the representative need not provide an additional copy.
Offender Orientation Handbook 127 FEBRUARY 2017
DEFENDANTS' DISCLOSURE - 0334
D. Designated Representative’s Application to Visit
For TDCJ approval to serve as an attorney’s designated representative, the designated representative shall submit a completed and signed copy of the I-164, Application to Visit TDCJ Offender as Attorney’s Representative to the ATC central office at least one week before the first requested visit to TDCJ as that attorney’s representative.
The TDCJ shall maintain the confidentiality of all information provided on all completed applications. If the answer to any question leads TDCJ to reasonably believe that a visit by the representative may pose a legitimate threat to security, TDCJ may ask such additional questions of the representative as are reasonably calculated to lead to the discovery of information that would prove the existence or extent of such security threat. If it is determined that such security threat exists, the application may be denied and a written response detailing the reason for denial shall be provided to the sponsoring attorney.
The I-164 form shall be resubmitted annually and the unit staff shall contact the ATC manager to verify the representative’s eligibility. If the attorney’s designated representative has previously completed the I-164 form in the last 12-month period for the same attorney and it was approved (this form shall be re-submitted annually) and submitted it to any TDCJ unit for the same attorney, it need not be re-submitted before a vis it t o a unit.
E. Limits on Number, Persons, and Type of Visit
Offenders are not limited in the number or length of visits by attorneys. One or more attorneys may visit one or more offenders at the same time, subject to reasonable regulation of the time, place, and number of participants and subject to the warden or designee’s determination whether such a visit would threaten security. The attorney may visit with other offenders on the same day at the same unit, subject to the same considerations listed above.
Attorney visits shall be non-contact, unless the unit’s configuration provides only contact visitation or in the case of an expert visiting as a designated representative. Before the contact visit by an expert is granted, the expert and the expert’s sponsoring attorney shall provide a completed I-165S, Attorney Initiated Contact Visit for Specialized Professional, to the warden or designee explaining that a contact visit is necessary for the validity of the examination or test and also provide a detailed list of the items the expert shall need to conduct the examination or test. Only the expert, each party’s attorney, and the offender may participate in an attorney-initiated expert contact visit.

If the offender objects to such a visit, the warden or designee shall deny the attorney or the designated representative the right to visit with the offender, provided that immediately after the offender’s objection is communicated to the warden or designee, the offender, or two witnesses in case the offender refuses to sign, signs and swears to a completed copy of the I-167, Refusal to Visit Attorney or Attorney Representative, form. Immediately after completion of the form, a copy of the completed and signed form shall be given to the offender refusing the visit and to the attorney whose visit was refused.

2. Items Permitted with Attorney or Designated Representative
Attorneys and designated representatives may bring briefcases, attaché cases, computer laptops, and personal digital assistants into the visiting area. Attorneys or designated representatives may also bring a tape recorder into the visitation area to be used only for taking notes of the interview with the offender and for recording the conversation between the attorney or designated representative and the offender, but for no other purpose.
Cell phones, broadcast or transmission equipment, or wireless communication devices used to communicate with a third party are never permitted; however, with good cause the warden or designee may permit the use of certain electronic equipment, such as a video camera, stenotype machine, or polygraph equipment. To request such consideration, an attorney shall provide the warden or designee with a justifiable reason for the allowance and attest that the use of the equipment is absolutely essential to facilitate the attorney-client relationship.
The warden or designee may open and inspect any item, such as briefcases, attaché cases, and tape recorders, but only in the attorney’s or designated representative’s presence and only for the purpose of detecting contraband. The warden or designee may also search the attorney or designated representative for weapons and contraband.
3. Items Permitted with Offender
Offenders may only bring pertinent legal documents, writing paper, and a writing utensil into the visiting area. Those documents may be inspected by the warden, but only in the offender’s presence and only for the purpose of detecting contraband.
4. Exchange of Items
The area used for the attorney-offender visit shall have a pass-through slot available for the attorney or designated representative and the offender to directly and confidentially exchange documents. The exchange of voluminous legal documents may require the assistance of staff.
Offender Orientation Handbook 129 FEBRUARY 2017
DEFENDANTS' DISCLOSURE - 0336
5. Rejection of Contraband Articles
If an item constituting contraband as defined in AD-03.72, “Offender Property, is found in an inspection, the warden or designee shall reject the contraband, immediately give each attorney and offender who participated in the exchange a written statement of the reason for the rejection, and may terminate the visit if such action is reasonable in relation to the seriousness of the violation as determined by the nature of the contraband. The offender or attorney may appeal the rejection through the procedure outlined in this policy.
6. Removal of Items
An attorney may remove from the unit any document received from an offender. An offender may remove from the visitation area any document received from an attorney unless the item is deemed contraband.
7. Writing Utensils
If writing utensils and paper are not available in the visiting area for use by offenders, an attorney is permitted to transmit these items to the offender. After completion of the visit, staff shall return the writing utensils and unused paper to the attorney, but the offender is permitted to choose whether to retain all paper used during the visit or to give it to the attorney.
8. Depositions
Due to the limited space and availability of locations within a correctional setting in which depositions can be securely accommodated, attendees are limited to attorneys, designated representatives, court reporters, videographers, and the offender. Depositions may be non-contact if security consideration requires it and the unit configuration permits it. Requests shall be provided in writing at least one week in advance of the schedule event and include a list detailing the equipment that shall be used and the name and title of each person expected to attend. Should video equipment be used to conduct a deposition, the video camera shall remain in a fixed place and shall be in operation only during the deposition. Before, during, and after the deposition, a deposed offender shall adhere to the TDCJ clothing standards as outlined in the Offender Orientation Handbook .
H. Rejection of Visitation Request or Termination of Visit
The warden or designee may deny an attorney or designated representative the right to visit with any offender or terminate such a visit immediately if that visit would cause a legitimate threat to security, but only for as long as such a threat exists and only if no lesser action would alleviate the threat. The attorney or designated representative may not waive any threat perceived by the warden or designee. If a decision denying an attorney’s request to visit an offender or an attorney’s request to have a designated representative visit the offender is made later than 4:00 p.m. of the day preceding the date of the requested visit, the warden or designee shall immediately attempt to notify the attorney and offender of the denial. Within 24 hours after denying an attorney’s request to visit with an offender, a request by an attorney to have a designated representative visit the offender, or terminating such a visit, the warden or designee shall send the offender and the attorney a written explanation of all reasons for said denial or termination, notification of the right to appeal, and an explanation of the procedure for appeal. The warden or designee shall also provide a copy of the denial documentation to the ATC manager.

DEFENDANTS' DISCLOSURE - 0337
I. Suspension of Visitation Privileges
A regional director may prohibit any attorney or designated representative who commits a serious violation of visitation regulations from any further visits with any offender or impose restrictive conditions regarding future visits that are reasonably appropriate to the violation. Within 72 hours after an attorney or designated representative is prohibited from or restricted in further visits, the warden or designee shall send the attorney and the offender being visited at the time of the violation a notice containing the following information:
1. Notification of the visitation prohibition, its duration, any restrictions regarding future visits, and the reasons for the prohibition or restriction, and
2. Notification that both the attorney and the offender have the right to appeal and an explanation of the procedure for appeal. Attorney visitation rights shall not be suspended or restricted except as provided by this policy.
J. Attorney Visitation Review Procedure
Any TDCJ visitation prohibition or restriction may be appealed either by an attorney whose visitation privileges have been suspended or restricted or by an offender with whom such an attorney either cannot visit or may visit under authorized restrictions. If a TDCJ visitation prohibition or restriction has been imposed on a designated representative, the appeal shall be filed by the sponsoring attorney. Any such person wishing to appeal shall send the Director’s Review Committee (DRC) written notice of appeal within two weeks after receiving the notice or statement required by the rule pursuant to which the suspension or restriction was imposed. Upon receipt of an appeal notice, the (DRC) shall obtain all documents and other tangible objects on which the prohibition or restrictions were based. The (DRC) shall render its decision within one month after the notice of appeal and issue written notification of the decision to the parties involved within 48 hours of the decision.
K. Consular Officials
Consular officials, to include the Consul General, Vice Consul, and Honorary Consul, are afforded the same rights and privileges as attorneys, except that consular officials may be permitted to meet with groups of their foreign national offenders with the permission of the appropriate regional director after consideration of security concerns. A consular official requesting a visit shall complete and fax a copy of the I-163C, Consular Official Application to Visit TDCJ Offender, a legible copy of the United States Department of State issued identification card, and their driver license to the offender’s unit of assignment no later than 3:30 p.m. on the business day before the requested visit. The unit shall verify United States Department of State issued credentials by contacting the U.S. Department of State, Office of Protocol at 202-274-1217. Any other individuals accompanying a consular official shall be approved as a representative by the ATC central office, which requires that a completed, signed I-164 form be filed. Upon being approved as a representative, the consular is required to submit an I-166, Attorney Authorization for Approved Representative to Visit TDCJ Offender, form to the visiting unit. Upon arrival, official identification shall be required.

VI. ATTORNEY AND OFFENDER TELEPHONE CALLS
A. General Guidelines
1. Attorneys are not permitted to use an attorney and offender telephone call to provide contact between the offender and any other person, other than the attorney’s designated representatives.
2. Attorneys may not send faxes to, nor receive faxes from, offenders.
3. Offenders may place telephone calls to their attorney of record using the Offender Telephone System (OTS). If the attorney is registered as the attorney of record with the OTS vendor, the call shall not be recorded or monitored. OTS telephone calls shall be placed in accordance with this policy.
4. All other requests for telephone contact shall be made in writing by the offender’s attorney using the I-162, Attorney/Offender Telephone Call Application, and the attorney shall provide the unit with at least 24 hours notice, unless the need is preempted by a legal emergency.
5. Consideration of requests by offenders for telephone contact with their attorneys should be predicated upon critical circumstances, such as the offender receives correspondence from the courts with a deadline necessitating immediate contact with the attorney or when a foreign national needs to place a telephone call to the general consulate. Time/distance factors may also be considered in a request. In such circumstances, the offender shall submit an I-60, Offender Request to an Official, to the unit ATC supervisor with an explanation of the critical circumstance. If the scheduled date for court appearance or hearing precludes a personal visit or correspondence, the request for telephone contact should be approved. Telephone calls shall be arranged between 8:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m. during business days unless there are compelling circumstances.
6. Frequency and duration of attorney and offender telephone conversations shall be decided on a case-by-case basis determined by need.
7. A specific time may be arranged for the telephone call either on the same day as the request or on a day that is convenient for all parties.
8. The rules regarding attorney and offender Telephone calls do not apply to SCFO or OAG attorneys.
9. Except as authorized by warrant or court order, telephone calls to attorneys pursuant to this policy shall not be monitored or recorded.
B. Telephone Call and Attorney of Record Approval
1. Designation of Attorney of Record for OTS Purposes
Attorneys of record shall register with the OTS vendor by submitting, on the attorney’s letterhead, a letter stating the attorney’s name, phone number which shall be verified as matching the number registered with the Texas State Bar Association, attorney’s state bar association number and state of registration, a list of TDCJ numbers and offender first and last names, and a statement that the attorney has an attorney-client relationship with the listed offenders. If the attorney is not listed with the Texas State Bar Association, the phone number of the bar association where the attorney is licensed shall be included.
Offender Orientation Handbook 132 FEBRUARY 2017
DEFENDANTS' DISCLOSURE - 0339
2. Calls Placed on State-Owned Unit Telephone Equipment
Attorney requests for telephone contact with an offender shall be directed in writing on the I-162 form, Attorney/Offender Telephone Call Application, to the warden. The I-162 form shall contain the following:
a. The name and TDCJ number of the offender;
b. The attorney’s full name, address, bar card number, telephone number, and fax number;
c. An affirmation of an existing attorney-client relationship with the offender;
d. An acknowledgment that the telephone call may not be used to accomplish any non-attorney-client communication;
e. The general reason, such as impending court deadline the call could not be precluded by a personal visit or correspondence;
f. Permission for the offender to return the call collect;
g. A date and time for the return telephone call convenient to the TDCJ unit and the attorney; and
h. The attorney’s signature.
3. The warden or designee receiving the request shall verify the attorney’s identity by requesting a faxed copy of the attorney’s bar card and driver’s license. Upon verification of the attorney’s identity, the State Bar Association shall be contacted by telephoning (800) 204-2222 or checking the Texas State Bar Association internet database at http://www.texasbar.com to ensure the attorney is in good standing and to verify that the telephone number that shall be called is that of the requesting attorney. The Texas State Bar website should note that the attorney is “Eligible to Practice in Texas.” If an attorney is not licensed in Texas, the other state bar information site should indicate current eligibility to practice. When questions arise, inquiries should be coordinated with the ATC manager.
4. Approvals for attorney and offender telephone calls shall be made by the warden or a designee, who shall be an employee with rank of major or higher.
5. Denial of an attorney and offender telephone call shall be made by a warden. The reasons for denial shall be given to the attorney in writing with a copy sent to the ATC manager and the TDCJ Office of the General Counsel.

VII. COURT TELEPHONE CONFERENCE CALLS
A judge may request that a court hearing be conducted via a telephone conference call or video conference rather than bench warrant the offender to the courtroom. The TDCJ requires a court order or a letter signed by the judge, on official letterhead, requesting the offender participate in a telephone or video conference. The court order or signed letter should be sent to the offender’s unit of assignment. The court order or letter shall state the offender’s name, number, date, time, and collect telephone number where the call can be facilitated in the case of a telephone conference call. In the case of a video conference, the court order or letter shall provide appropriate information so that the video conference may be facilitated. No collect telephone number need be provided if the court intends to initiate the telephone conference call. The TDCJ shall verify the order or letter and facilitate the call using a speakerphone or a regular handset phone if a telephone conference has been requested. Attorney-client confidentiality does not apply to court hearings.

/ About datasets used in this table
Value Notes 1. Includes data not distributed by county.
Estimates are not comparable to other geographic levels due to methodology differences that may exist between different data sources.
Some estimates presented here come from sample data, and thus have sampling errors that may render some apparent differences between geographies statistically indistinguishable. Click the Quick Info icon to the row in TABLE view to learn about sampling error.
The vintage year (e.g., V2019) refers to the final year of the series (2010 thru 2019). Different vintage years of estimates are not comparable.
Fact Notes (a) Includes persons reporting only one race (b) Hispanics may be of any race, so also are included in applicable race categories (c) Economic Census - Puerto Rico data are not comparable to U.S. Economic Census data
Value Flags - Either no or too few sample observations were available to compute an estimate, or a ratio of medians cannot be calculated because one or both of the median estimates falls in the lowest or upper int open ended distribution. D Suppressed to avoid disclosure of confidential information F Fewer than 25 firms FN Footnote on this item in place of data N Data for this geographic area cannot be displayed because the number of sample cases is too small. NA Not available S Suppressed; does not meet publication standards X Not applicable Z Value greater than zero but less than half unit of measure shown
QuickFacts data are derived from: Population Estimates, American Community Survey, Census of Population and Housing, Current Population Survey, Small Area Health Insurance Estimates, Small Area Income and P Estimates, State and County Housing Unit Estimates, County Business Patterns, Nonemployer Statistics, Economic Census, Survey of Business Owners, Building Permits.

World Health Organization, Pneumonia of Unknown Cause—China (Jan. 5, 2020) 5/9/2020 WHO | Pneumonia of unknown cause – China
Emergencies preparedness, response Pneumonia of unknown cause – China
Disease outbreak news 5 January 2020
On 31 December 2019, the WHO China Country Office was informed of cases of pneumonia of unknown etiology (unknown cause) detected in Wuhan City, Hubei Province of China. As of 3 January 2020, a total of 44 patients with pneumonia of unknown etiology have been reported to WHO by the national authorities in China. Of the 44 cases reported, 11 are severely ill, while the remaining 33 patients are in stable condition. According to media reports, the concerned market in Wuhan was closed on 1 January 2020 for environmental sanitation and disinfection.
The causal agent has not yet been identified or confirmed. On 1 January 2020, WHO requested further information from national authorities to assess the risk.
National authorities report that all patients are isolated and receiving treatment in Wuhan medical institutions. The clinical signs and symptoms are mainly fever, with a few patients having difficulty in breathing, and chest radiographs showing invasive lesions of both lungs.
According to the authorities, some patients were operating dealers or vendors in the Huanan Seafood market. Based on the preliminary information from the Chinese investigation team, no evidence of significant human-to-human transmission and no health care worker infections have been reported.
Public Health Response National authorities have reported the following response measures:
One hundred and twenty-one close contacts have been identified and are under medical observation; The follow-up of close contacts is ongoing; Pathogen identification and the tracing of the cause are underway; Wuhan Municipal Health Commission carried out active case finding, and retrospective investigations have been completed; Environmental sanitation and further hygiene investigations are under way.
https://www.who.int/csr/don/05-january-2020-pneumonia-of-unkown-cause-china/en/ 1/3 5/9/2020 WHO | Pneumonia of unknown cause – China WHO is closely monitoring the situation and is in close contact with national authorities in China.
WHO risk assessment There is limited information to determine the overall risk of this reported cluster of pneumonia of unknown etiology. The reported link to a wholesale fish and live animal market could indicate an exposure link to animals. The symptoms reported among the patients are common to several respiratory diseases, and pneumonia is common in the winter season; however, the occurrence of 44 cases of pneumonia requiring hospitalization clustered in space and time should be handled prudently.
Wuhan city, with a population of 19 million, is the capital city of Hubei province, with a population of 58 million people. WHO has requested further information on the laboratory tests performed and the differential diagnoses considered.
WHO advice Based on information provided by national authorities, WHO’s recommendations on public health measures and surveillance of influenza and severe acute respiratory infections still apply.
WHO does not recommend any specific measures for travellers. In case of symptoms suggestive of respiratory illness either during or after travel, travellers are encouraged to seek medical attention and share travel history with their healthcare provider.
WHO advises against the application of any travel or trade restrictions on China based on the current information available on this event.

WHO statement on novel coronavirus in Thailand
13 January 2020 |News release
The World Health Organization (WHO) is working with officials in Thailand and China following reports of confirmation of the novel coronavirus in a person in Thailand.
The person was a traveler from Wuhan, China, and was identified by Thai officials on 8 January, and hospitalized that day. The person is recovering from the illness according to Thai officials.
The possibility of cases being identified in other countries was not unexpected, and reinforces why WHO calls for on-going active monitoring and preparedness in other countries. WHO has issued guidance on how to detect and treat persons ill with the new virus.
The genetic sequencing shared by China enables more countries to rapidly diagnose patients.
WHO reiterates that it is essential that investigations continue in China to identify the source of this outbreak and any animal reservoirs or intermediate hosts.
Given developments, WHO Director-General Dr Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus will consult with Emergency Committee members and could call for a meeting of the committee on short notice.

Case of 2019 novel coronavirus confirmed in Washington state resident
OLYMPIA – Today the Washington State Department of Health (DOH) confirmed a case of 2019 novel coronavirus (2019-nCoV) in a Snohomish County resident. While the risk to the general public is low, DOH is working with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and Snohomish Health District to identify and contact all those who may have come in contact with the confirmed case. These individuals will be monitored for fever and respiratory symptoms.
“As our team of experts partners with infectious disease specialists locally, nationally and around the globe to learn more about the 2019 novel coronavirus, our first priority remains public safety,” said Washington State Secretary of Health, John Wiesman. “We believe the risk to the public is low. And as this situation evolves, we will continue to communicate with the CDC, Snohomish County and the public.”
The patient, a man in his 30s, is the first confirmed case of 2019-nCoV in the United States. He arrived in Snohomish County on January 15 after traveling from Wuhan City, China, where an outbreak of 2019-nCoV has been underway since December 2019. As of the morning of January 21, there were 300 cases worldwide but that number is likely to grow.
The Washington patient developed symptoms and was seen at a clinic in Snohomish County. Specimens were collected and sent to the CDC for testing. The patient is currently being observed at Providence Regional Medical Center Everett.
“Last night, the Snohomish Health District coordinated with local partners to safely transport the patient to Providence Regional Medical Center in Everett. This is all being done following our jointly developed infectious disease protocols. No one wants to be the first in the nation in these types of situations, but these are the types of situations that public health and its partners train and prepare for. Because of this, everything has been going along quite smoothly,” said Dr. Chris Spitters, Health Officer, Snohomish Health District.

Statement on the meeting of the International Health Regulations (2005) Emergency Committee regarding the outbreak of novel coronavirus (2019-nCoV)
23 January 2020 |Statement |Geneva, Switzerland
The meeting of the Emergency Committee convened by the WHO Director-General under the International Health Regulations (IHR) (2005) regarding the outbreak of novel coronavirus 2019 in the People’s Republic of China, with exportations currently reported in the Republic of Korea, Japan, Thailand and Singapore, took place on Wednesday, 22 January 2020, from 12:00 to 16:30 Geneva time (CEST) and on Thursday, 23 January 2020, from 12:00 to 15:10. The Committee’s role is to give advice to the Director-General, who makes the final decision on the determination of a Public Health Emergency of International Concern (PHEIC). The Committee also provides public health advice or suggests formal temporary recommendations as appropriate. Proceedings of the meeting
Members and advisors of the Emergency Committee were convened by teleconference.

The Director-General welcomed the Committee and thanked them for their support. He turned the meeting over to the Chair, Professor Didier Houssin.
Professor Houssin also welcomed the Committee and gave the floor to the Secretariat.
On 22 January, representatives of WHO’s legal department and the department of compliance, risk management, and ethics briefed the Committee members on their roles and responsibilities.
Committee members were reminded of their duty of confidentiality and their responsibility to disclose personal, financial, or professional connections that might be seen to constitute a conflict of interest. Each member who was present was surveyed and no conflicts of interest were judged to be relevant to the meeting.
The Chair then reviewed the agenda for the meeting and introduced the presenters.
On 23 January, representatives of the Ministry of Health of the People’s Republic of China, Japan, Thailand and the Republic of Korea updated the committee on the situation in their countries. There have been increased numbers of reported cases in China, with 557 confirmed as of today. Conclusions and Advice
On 22 January, the members of the Emergency Committee expressed divergent views on whether this event constitutes a PHEIC or not. At that time, the advice was that the event did not constitute a PHEIC, but the Committee members agreed on the urgency of the situation and suggested that the Committee should be reconvened in a matter of days to examine the situation further.
After the announcement of new containment measures in Wuhan on 22 January, the Director- General asked the Emergency Committee to reconvene on 23 January to study the information provided by Chinese authorities about the most recent epidemiological evolution and the risk- management measures taken.
Chinese authorities presented new epidemiological information that revealed an increase in the number of cases, of suspected cases, of affected provinces, and the proportion of deaths in currently reported cases of 4% (17 of 557). They reported fourth-generation cases in Wuhan and second-generation cases outside Wuhan, as well as some clusters outside Hubei province. They explained that strong containment measures (closure of public-transportation systems are in place in Wuhan City, as well as other nearby cities). After this presentation, the EC was informed about the evolution in Japan, Republic of Korea, and Thailand, and that one new possible case had been identified in Singapore.

The Committee welcomed the efforts made by China to investigate and contain the current outbreak.
The following elements were considered as critical:
Human-to-human transmission is occurring and a preliminary R0 estimate of 1.4-2.5 was presented. Amplification has occurred in one health care facility. Of confirmed cases, 25% are reported to be severe. The source is still unknown (most likely an animal reservoir) and the extent of human-to- human transmission is still not clear.
Several members considered that it is still too early to declare a PHEIC, given its restrictive and binary nature.
Based on these divergent views, the EC formulates the following advice: To WHO
The Committee stands ready to be reconvened in approximately ten days’ time, or earlier should the Director-General deem it necessary.
The Committee urged to support ongoing efforts through a WHO international multidisciplinary mission, including national experts. The mission would review and support efforts to investigate the animal source of the outbreak, the extent of human-to-human transmission, the screening efforts in other provinces of China, the enhancement of surveillance for severe acute respiratory infections in these regions, and to reinforce containment and mitigation measures. A mission would provide information to the international community to aid in understanding of the situation and its potential public health impact.
WHO should continue to provide all necessary technical and operational support to respond to this outbreak, including with its extensive networks of partners and collaborating institutions, to implement a comprehensive risk communication strategy, and to allow for the advancement of research and scientific developments in relation to this novel coronavirus.
In the face of an evolving epidemiological situation and the restrictive binary nature of declaring a PHEIC or not, WHO should consider a more nuanced system, which would allow an intermediate level of alert. Such a system would better reflect the severity of an outbreak, its impact, and the required measures, and would facilitate improved international coordination, including research efforts for developing medical counter measures.

Provide more information on cross-government risk management measures, including crisis management systems at national, provincial, and city levels, and other domestic measures. Enhance rational public health measures for containment and mitigation of the current outbreak. Enhance surveillance and active case finding across China, particularly during the Chinese New Year celebration. Collaborate with WHO and partners to conduct investigations to understand the epidemiology and the evolution of this outbreak, including specific investigations to understand the source of the novel coronavirus, notably the animal reservoir, and animals involved in the zoonotic transmission, as well as the understanding of its full potential for human-to-human transmission, and where transmission is taking place, the clinical features associated with infection, and the required treatment to reduce morbidity and mortality. Continue to share full data on all cases with WHO, including genome sequences, and details of any health care worker infections or clusters. Conduct exit screening at international airports and ports in the affected provinces, with the aims early detection of symptomatic travelers for further evaluation and treatment, while minimizing interference with international traffic. Encourage screening at domestic airports, railway stations, and long-distance bus stations as necessary. To other countries
It is expected that further international exportation of cases may appear in any country. Thus, all countries should be prepared for containment, including active surveillance, early detection, isolation and case management, contact tracing and prevention of onward spread of 2019-nCoV infection, and to share full data with WHO.
Countries are required to share information with WHO according to the IHR.
Technical advice is available here. Countries should place particular emphasis on reducing human infection, prevention of secondary transmission and international spread and contributing to the international response though multi-sectoral communication and collaboration and active participation in increasing knowledge on the virus and the disease, as well as advancing research. Countries should also follow travel advice from WHO. To the global community
As this is a new coronavirus, and it has been previously shown that similar coronaviruses required substantial efforts for regular information sharing and research, the global community should continue to demonstrate solidarity and cooperation, in compliance with Article 44 of the IHR (2005),

in supporting each other on the identification of the source of this new virus, its full potential for human-to-human transmission, preparedness for potential importation of cases, and research for developing necessary treatment.

Secretary Azar Declares Public Health Emergency for United States for 2019 Novel Coronavirus
Health and Human Services Secretary Alex M. Azar II declared a public health emergency for the entire United States to aid the nation’s healthcare community in responding to 2019 novel coronavirus.
“While this virus poses a serious public health threat, the risk to the American public remains low at this time, and we are working to keep this risk low,” Secretary Azar said. “We are committed to protecting the health and safety of all Americans, and this public health emergency declaration is the latest in the series of steps the Trump Administration has taken to protect our country.”
The emergency declaration gives state, tribal, and local health departments more flexibility to request that HHS authorize them to temporarily reassign state, local, and tribal personnel to respond to 2019-nCoV if their salaries normally are funded in whole or in part by Public Health Service Act programs. These personnel could assist with public health information campaigns and other response activities.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention is working closely with state health departments on disease surveillance, contact tracing, and providing interim guidance for clinicians on identifying and treating coronavirus infections. HHS is working with the Department of State to assist in bringing home Americans who had been living in affected areas of mainland China. HHS divisions also are collaborating with industry to identify and move forward with development of potential diagnostics, vaccines, and therapeutics to detect, prevent, and treat 2019-nCoV infections.
In declaring the public health emergency, Secretary Azar acted within his authority under the Public Health Service Act. This declaration is retroactive to January 27, 2020.
This U.S. public health emergency declaration follows a declaration by the World Health Organization that spread of the virus constituted a public health emergency of international concern.

I will start by turning it over to Dr. Robert Redfield, Director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, to discuss the current situation on the novel coronavirus.
[Redfield briefs]
I now invite Dr. Anthony Fauci, Director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, to discuss the underlying rationale for today’s actions. [Fauci briefs]
Today, President Trump took decisive action to minimize the risk of the spread of the coronavirus in the United States.
Since taking office, President Trump has been clear: His top priority is the safety of the American people.
In addition to the steps that the doctors have outlined, we continue to operationalize a multi-layered, cross-agency public health response.
Following the World Health Organization’s decision to declare the 2019 novel coronavirus a Public Health Emergency of International Concern, I have declared today that the coronavirus presents a Public Health Emergency in the United States.
[Read Secretary Azar’s statement on the Public Health Emergency]
The actions we have taken and continue to take complement the work of China and the WHO to contain the outbreak within China.
In accordance with the declaration, beginning 5 PM Eastern Standard Time, Sunday, February 2, the U.S. government will implement temporary measures to increase our abilities to detect and contain the coronavirus proactively and aggressively.
Any U.S. citizen returning to the U.S. who has been in Hubei Province in the previous 14 days will be subject to up to 14 days of mandatory quarantine, to ensure they’re provided proper medical care and health screening. To be clear, this applies only to U.S. citizens who have been in Hubei Province in the past 14 days.
Any U.S. citizen returning to the U.S. who has been in the rest of mainland China within the previous 14 days will undergo proactive entry health screening at a select number of ports of entry and up to 14 days of monitored self-quarantine to ensure they have not contracted the virus and do not pose a public health risk.
https://www.hhs.gov/about/leadership/secretary/speeches/2020-speeches/secretary-azar-delivers-remarks-on-declaration-of-public-health-emergency-2019-novel-coro… 2/3 5/9/2020 Secretary Azar Delivers Remarks on Declaration of Public Health Emergency for 2019 Novel Coronavirus | HHS.gov Additionally, the President has signed a Presidential Proclamation, using his authority pursuant to Section 212(f) of the Immigration and National Act, temporarily suspending the entry into the United States of foreign nationals who pose a risk of transmitting the 2019 novel coronavirus.
As a result, foreign nationals, other than immediate family of U.S. citizens and permanent residents, who have traveled to China within the last 14 days will be denied entry into the U.S. for this time. Once again, these actions will become effective at 5 PM EST, Sunday, February 2.
These prudent and targeted actions will decrease the pressure on public health officials screening incoming travelers, expedite the processing of U.S. citizens returning from China, and ensure resources are focused on the health and safety of the American people.
I want to stress: The risk of infection for Americans remains low, and with these and our previous actions, we are working to keep the risk low.
All agencies are working aggressively to monitor this continuously evolving situation and to keep the public informed.
The United States appreciates China’s efforts and coordination with public health officials across the globe and continues to encourage the highest levels of transparency.
It is likely that we will continue to see more cases in the United States in the coming days and weeks, including some limited person-to-person transmission.
The American public can be assured: The full weight of the U.S. government is working to safeguard the health and safety of the American people.
I now invite Deputy Secretary of State Steve Biegun for an update.

China reported some 512 coronavirus cases from four prisons, and two of those facilities are located in Hubei province, the epicenter of the outbreak.
In Hubei, there are 230 COVID-19 cases at the Wuhan Women’s prison and 41 cases at the Shayang Hanjin prison, according to a report from the province’s state-run newspaper on Friday.
At about mid-day on Friday, Hubei province’s health commission revised higher the number of confirmed cases to account for a written report from the prison department that disclosed well over 200 cases in its system. Of 271 prison cases, 51 were previously already included in regional figures.
Up north, Shandong province’s Rencheng prison reported 207 confirmed cases of the virus, according to state news agency Xinhua on Friday.
Seven of those infected are prison officers while the rest are inmates, Xinhua said, adding that prison officers started reporting symptoms in early February.
Xie Weijin, the provincial judicial department chief was removed from his post, Communist Party-owned People’s Daily said in a tweet. Xinhua said his departure was a result of inadequate epidemic prevention and control. All are being treated and isolated, the state news agency added.

2 I. The Mission
Goal and Objectives
The overall goal of the Joint Mission was to rapidly inform national (China) and international planning on next steps in the response to the ongoing outbreak of the novel coronavirus disease (COVID-191) and on next steps in readiness and preparedness for geographic areas not yet affected.
The major objectives of the Joint Mission were as follows: • To enhance understanding of the evolving COVID-19 outbreak in China and the nature and impact of ongoing containment measures; • To share knowledge on COVID-19 response and preparedness measures being implemented in countries affected by or at risk of importations of COVID-19; • To generate recommendations for adjusting COVID-19 containment and response measures in China and internationally; and • To establish priorities for a collaborative programme of work, research and development to address critical gaps in knowledge and response and readiness tools and activities.
Members & Method of Work
The Joint Mission consisted of 25 national and international experts from China, Germany, Japan, Korea, Nigeria, Russia, Singapore, the United States of America and the World Health Organization (WHO). The Joint Mission was headed by Dr Bruce Aylward of WHO and Dr Wannian Liang of the People’s Republic of China. The full list of members and their affiliations is available in Annex A. The Joint Mission was implemented over a 9-day period from 16-24 February 2020. The schedule of work is available in Annex B.
The Joint Mission began with a detailed workshop with representatives of all of the principal ministries that are leading and/or contributing to the response in China through the National Prevention and Control Task Force. A series of in-depth meetings were then conducted with national level institutions responsible for the management, implementation and evaluation of the response, particularly the National Health Commission and the China Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (China CDC). To gain first-hand knowledge on the field level implementation and impact of the national and local response strategy, under a range of epidemiologic and provincial contexts, visits were conducted to Beijing Municipality and the provinces of Sichuan (Chengdu), Guangdong (Guangzhou, Shenzhen) and Hubei (Wuhan). The field visits included community centers and health clinics, country/district hospitals, COVID-19 designated hospitals, transportations hubs (air, rail, road), a wet market, pharmaceutical and personal protective equipment (PPE) stocks warehouses, research institutions, provincial health commissions, and local Centers for
1 In the Chinese version of this report, COVID-19 is referred to throughout as novel coronavirus pneumonia or NCP, the term by which COVID-19 is most widely known in the People’s Republic of China.
3 Disease Control (provincial and prefecture). During these visits, the team had detailed discussion and consultations with Provincial Governors, municipal Mayors, their emergency operations teams, senior scientists, frontline clinical, public health and community workers, and community neighbourhood administrators. The Joint Mission concluded with working sessions to consolidate findings, generate conclusions and propose suggested actions.
To achieve its goal, the Joint Mission gave particular focus to addressing key questions related to the natural history and severity of COVID-19, the transmission dynamics of the COVID-19 virus in different settings, and the impact of ongoing response measures in areas of high (community level), moderate (clusters) and low (sporadic cases or no cases) transmission.
The findings in this report are based on the Joint Mission’s review of national and local governmental reports, discussions on control and prevention measures with national and local experts and response teams, and observations made and insights gained during site visits. The figures have been produced using information and data collected during site visits and with the agreement of the relevant groups. References are available for any information in this report that has already been published in journals.
The final report of the Joint Mission was submitted on 28 February and updated 11 March.
II. Major findings
The major findings are described in six sections: the virus, the outbreak, transmission dynamics, disease progression and severity, the China response and knowledge gaps. More detailed descriptions of technical findings are provided in Annex C.
The virus
On 30 December 2019, three bronchoalveolar lavage samples were collected from a patient with pneumonia of unknown etiology – a surveillance definition established following the SARS outbreak of 2002-2003 – in Wuhan Jinyintan Hospital. Real-time PCR (RT-PCR) assays on these samples were positive for pan-Betacoronavirus. Using Illumina and nanopore sequencing, the whole genome sequences of the virus were acquired. Bioinformatic analyses indicated that the virus had features typical of the coronavirus family and belonged to the Betacoronavirus 2B lineage. Alignment of the full-length genome sequence of the COVID-19 virus and other available genomes of Betacoronavirus showed the closest relationship was with the bat SARS-like coronavirus strain BatCov RaTG13, identity 96%.
Virus isolation was conducted with various cell lines, such as human airway epithelial cells, Vero E6, and Huh-7. Cytopathic effects (CPE) were observed 96 hours after inoculation. Typical crown-like particles were observed under transmission electron microscope (TEM) with negative staining. The cellular infectivity of the isolated viruses could be completely neutralized by the sera collected from convalescent patients. Transgenic human ACE2 mice and Rhesus monkey intranasally challenged by this virus isolate induced multifocal pneumonia with interstitial hyperplasia. The COVID-19 virus was subsequently detected and isolated in the lung and intestinal tissues of the challenged animals.

Whole genome sequencing analysis of 104 strains of the COVID-19 virus isolated from patients in different localities with symptom onset between the end of December 2019 and mid-February 2020 showed 99.9% homology, without significant mutation (Figure 1).
Figure 1. Phylogenetic analysis of the COVID-19 virus and its closely related reference genomes Note: COVID-19 virus is referred to as 2019-nCoV in the figure, the interim virus name WHO announced early in the outbreak.
Post-mortem samples from a 50-year old male patient from Wuhan were taken from the lung, liver, and heart. Histological examination showed bilateral diffuse alveolar damage with cellular fibromyxoid exudates. The lung showed evident desquamation of pneumocytes and hyaline membrane formation, indicating acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). Lung tissue also displayed cellular and fibromyxoid exudation, desquamation of pneumocytes and pulmonary oedema. Interstitial mononuclear inflammatory infiltrates, dominated by lymphocytes, were seen in both lungs. Multinucleated syncytial cells with atypical enlarged pneumocytes characterized by large nuclei, amphophilic granular cytoplasm, and prominent nucleoli were identified in the intra- alveolar spaces, showing viral cytopathic-like changes. No obvious intranuclear or intracytoplasmic viral inclusions were identified.
The outbreak
As of 20 February 2020, a cumulative total of 75,465 COVID-19 cases were reported in China. Reported cases are based on the National Reporting System (NRS) between the
5 National and Provincial Health Commissions. The NRS issues daily reports of newly recorded confirmed cases, deaths, suspected cases, and contacts. A daily report is provided by each province at 0300hr in which they report cases from the previous day.
The epidemic curves presented in Figures 2 and 3 are generated using China’s National Infectious Disease Information System (IDIS), which requires each COVID-19 case to be reported electronically by the responsible doctor as soon as a case has been diagnosed. It includes cases that are reported as asymptomatic and data are updated in real time. Individual case reporting forms are downloaded after 2400hr daily. Epidemiologic curves for Wuhan, Hubei (outside of Wuhan), China (outside Hubei) and China by symptom onset are provided in Figure 2.

Figure 3 presents epidemic curves of laboratory-confirmed cases, by symptom onset and separately by date of report, at 5, 12, and 20 February 2020. Figures 2 and 3 illustrate that the epidemic rapidly grew from 10-22 January, reported cases peaked and plateaued between 23 January and 27 January, and have been steadily declining since then, apart from the spike that was reported on 1 February (note: at a major hospital in Wuhan, fever clinic patients fell from a peak of 500/day in late January to average 50/day since mid-February).
Figure 3. Epidemic curves by symptom onset and date of report as of 5 February (top panel), 12 February (middle panel) and 20 February 2020 (lower panel) for laboratory confirmed COVID-19 cases for all of China
Based on these epidemic curves, the published literature, and our on-site visits in Wuhan (Hubei), Guangdong (Shenzhen and Guangzhou), Sichuan (Chengdu), and Beijing, the Joint Mission team has made the following epidemiological observations:
7
Demographic characteristics Among 55,924 laboratory confirmed cases reported as of 20 February 2020, the median age is 51 years (range 2 days-100 years old; IQR 39-63 years old) with the majority of cases (77.8%) aged between 30–69 years. Among reported cases, 51.1% are male, 77.0% are from Hubei and 21.6% are farmers or laborers by occupation.
Zoonotic origins COVID-19 is a zoonotic virus. From phylogenetics analyses undertaken with available full genome sequences, bats appear to be the reservoir of COVID-19 virus, but the intermediate host(s) has not yet been identified. However, three important areas of work are already underway in China to inform our understanding of the zoonotic origin of this outbreak. These include early investigations of cases with symptom onset in Wuhan throughout December 2019, environmental sampling from the Huanan Wholesale Seafood Market and other area markets, and the collection of detailed records on the source and type of wildlife species sold at the Huanan market and the destination of those animals after the market was closed.
Routes of transmission COVID-19 is transmitted via droplets and fomites during close unprotected contact between an infector and infectee. Airborne spread has not been reported for COVID-19 and it is not believed to be a major driver of transmission based on available evidence; however, it can be envisaged if certain aerosol-generating procedures are conducted in health care facilities. Fecal shedding has been demonstrated from some patients, and viable virus has been identified in a limited number of case reports. However, the fecal-oral route does not appear to be a driver of COVID-19 transmission; its role and significance for COVID-19 remains to be determined. Viral shedding is discussed in the Technical Findings (Annex C).
Household transmission In China, human-to-human transmission of the COVID-19 virus is largely occurring in families. The Joint Mission received detailed information from the investigation of clusters and some household transmission studies, which are ongoing in a number of Provinces. Among 344 clusters involving 1308 cases (out of a total 1836 cases reported) in Guangdong Province and Sichuan Province, most clusters (78%-85%) have occurred in families. Household transmission studies are currently underway, but preliminary studies ongoing in Guangdong estimate the secondary attack rate in households ranges from 3-10%.
Contact Tracing China has a policy of meticulous case and contact identification for COVID-19. For example, in Wuhan more than 1800 teams of epidemiologists, with a minimum of 5 people/team, are tracing tens of thousands of contacts a day. Contact follow up is painstaking, with a high percentage of identified close contacts completing medical observation. Between 1% and 5% of contacts were subsequently laboratory confirmed cases of COVID-19, depending on location. For example: • As of 17 February, in Shenzhen City, among 2842 identified close contacts, 2842 (100%) were traced and 2240 (79%) have completed medical observation. Among the close contacts, 88 (3.1%) were found to be infected with COVID-19.
8 • As of 17 February, in Sichuan Province, among 25493 identified close contacts, 25347 (99%) were traced and 23178 (91%) have completed medical observation. Among the close contacts, 0.9% were found to be infected with COVID-19. • As of 20 February, in Guangdong Province, among 9939 identified close contacts, 9939 (100%) were traced and 7765 (78%) have completed medical observation. Among the close contacts, 479 (4.8%) were found to be infected with COVID-19.
Testing at fever clinics and from routine ILI/SARI surveillance The Joint Mission systematically enquired about testing for COVID-19 from routine respiratory disease surveillance systems to explore if COVID-19 is circulating more broadly and undetected in the community in China. These systems could include RT-PCR testing of COVID-19 virus in influenza-like-illness (ILI) and severe acute respiratory infection (SARI) surveillance systems, as well as testing of results among all visitors to fever clinics.
In Wuhan, COVID-19 testing of ILI samples (20 per week) in November and December 2019 and in the first two weeks of January 2020 found no positive results in the 2019 samples, 1 adult positive in the first week of January, and 3 adults positive in the second week of January; all children tested were negative for COVID-19 although a number were positive for influenza. In Guangdong, from 1-14 January, only 1 of more than 15000 ILI/SARI samples tested positive for the COVID-19 virus. In one hospital in Beijing, there were no COVID-19 positive samples among 1910 collected from 28 January 2019 to 13 February 2020. In a hospital in Shenzhen, 0/40 ILI samples were positive for COVID-19.
Within the fever clinics in Guangdong, the percentage of samples that tested positive for the COVID-19 virus has decreased over time from a peak of 0.47% positive on 30 January to 0.02% on 16 February. Overall in Guangdong, 0.14% of approximately 320,000 fever clinic screenings were positive for COVID-19.
Susceptibility As COVID-19 is a newly identified pathogen, there is no known pre-existing immunity in humans. Based on the epidemiologic characteristics observed so far in China, everyone is assumed to be susceptible, although there may be risk factors increasing susceptibility to infection. This requires further study, as well as to know whether there is neutralising immunity after infection.
The transmission dynamics
Inferring from Figures 2 and 3, and based on our observations at the national and provincial/municipal levels during the Joint Mission, we summarize and interpret the transmission dynamics of COVID-19 thus far. It is important to note that transmission dynamics of any outbreak are inherently contextual. For COVID-19, we observe four major types of transmission dynamics during the epidemic growth phase and in the post-control period, and highlight what is known about transmission in children, as follows:
9 Transmission in Wuhan Early cases identified in Wuhan are believed to be have acquired infection from a zoonotic source as many reported visiting or working in the Huanan Wholesale Seafood Market. As of 25 February, an animal source has not yet been identified.
At some point early in the outbreak, some cases generated human-to-human transmission chains that seeded the subsequent community outbreak prior to the implementation of the comprehensive control measures that were rolled out in Wuhan. The dynamics likely approximated mass action and radiated from Wuhan to other parts of Hubei province and China, which explains a relatively high R0 of 2-2.5.
The cordon sanitaire around Wuhan and neighboring municipalities imposed since 23 January 2020 has effectively prevented further exportation of infected individuals to the rest of the country.
Transmission in Hubei, other than Wuhan In the prefectures immediately adjoining Wuhan (Xiaogan, Huanggang, Jingzhou and Ezhou), transmission is less intense. For other prefectures, due to fewer transport links and human mobility flows with Wuhan, the dynamics are more closely aligned with those observed in the other areas of the country. Within Hubei, the implementation of control measures (including social distancing) has reduced the community force of infection, resulting in the progressively lower incident reported case counts.
Transmission in China outside of Hubei Given Wuhan’s transport hub status and population movement during the Chinese New Year (chunyun), infected individuals quickly spread throughout the country, and were particularly concentrated in cities with the highest volume of traffic with Wuhan. Some of these imported seeds generated limited human-to-human transmission chains at their destination.
Given the Wuhan/Hubei experience, a comprehensive set of interventions, including aggressive case and contact identification, isolation and management and extreme social distancing, have been implemented to interrupt the chains of transmission nationwide. To date, most of the recorded cases were imported from or had direct links to Wuhan/Hubei. Community transmission has been very limited. Most locally generated cases have been clustered, the majority of which have occurred in households, as summarized above.
Of note, the highly clustered nature of local transmission may explain a relatively high R0 (2- 2.5) in the absence of interventions and low confirmed case counts with intense quarantine and social distancing measures.
Special settings We note that instances of transmission have occurred within health care settings prisons and other closed settings. At the present time, it is not clear what role these settings and groups play in transmission. However, they do not appear to be major drivers of the overall epidemic dynamics. Specifically, we note:
10 (a) Transmission in health care settings and among health care workers (HCW) – The Joint Mission discussed nosocomial infection in all locations visited during the Mission. As of 20 February 2020, there were 2,055 COVID-19 laboratory-confirmed cases reported among HCW from 476 hospitals across China. The majority of HCW cases (88%) were reported from Hubei.
Remarkably, more than 40,000 HCW have been deployed from other areas of China to support the response in Wuhan. Notwithstanding discrete and limited instances of nosocomial outbreaks (e.g. a nosocomial outbreak involving 15 HCW in Wuhan), transmission within health care settings and amongst health care workers does not appear to be a major transmission feature of COVID-19 in China. The Joint Mission learned that, among the HCW infections, most were identified early in the outbreak in Wuhan when supplies and experience with the new disease was lower. Additionally, investigations among HCW suggest that many may have been infected within the household rather than in a health care setting. Outside of Hubei, health care worker infections have been less frequent (i.e. 246 of the total 2055 HCW cases). When exposure was investigated in these limited cases, the exposure for most was reported to have been traced back to a confirmed case in a household.
The Joint Team noted that attention to the prevention of infection in health care workers is of paramount importance in China. Surveillance among health care workers identified factors early in the outbreak that placed HCW at higher risk of infection, and this information has been used to modify policies to improve protection of HCW.
(b) Transmission in closed settings – There have been reports of COVID-19 transmission in prisons (Hubei, Shandong, and Zhejiang, China), hospitals (as above) and in a long- term living facility. The close proximity and contact among people in these settings and the potential for environmental contamination are important factors, which could amplify transmission. Transmission in these settings warrants further study.
Children Data on individuals aged 18 years old and under suggest that there is a relatively low attack rate in this age group (2.4% of all reported cases). Within Wuhan, among testing of ILI samples, no children were positive in November and December of 2019 and in the first two weeks of January 2020. From available data, and in the absence of results from serologic studies, it is not possible to determine the extent of infection among children, what role children play in transmission, whether children are less susceptible or if they present differently clinically (i.e. generally milder presentations). The Joint Mission learned that infected children have largely been identified through contact tracing in households of adults. Of note, people interviewed by the Joint Mission Team could not recall episodes in which transmission occurred from a child to an adult.
The signs, symptoms, disease progression and severity
Symptoms of COVID-19 are non-specific and the disease presentation can range from no symptoms (asymptomatic) to severe pneumonia and death. As of 20 February 2020 and
11 based on 55924 laboratory confirmed cases, typical signs and symptoms include: fever (87.9%), dry cough (67.7%), fatigue (38.1%), sputum production (33.4%), shortness of breath (18.6%), sore throat (13.9%), headache (13.6%), myalgia or arthralgia (14.8%), chills (11.4%), nausea or vomiting (5.0%), nasal congestion (4.8%), diarrhea (3.7%), and hemoptysis (0.9%), and conjunctival congestion (0.8%).
People with COVID-19 generally develop signs and symptoms, including mild respiratory symptoms and fever, on an average of 5-6 days after infection (mean incubation period 5-6 days, range 1-14 days).
Most people infected with COVID-19 virus have mild disease and recover. Approximately 80% of laboratory confirmed patients have had mild to moderate disease, which includes non-pneumonia and pneumonia cases, 13.8% have severe disease (dyspnea, respiratory frequency ≥30/minute, blood oxygen saturation ≤93%, PaO2/FiO2 ratio <300, and/or lung infiltrates >50% of the lung field within 24-48 hours) and 6.1% are critical (respiratory failure, septic shock, and/or multiple organ dysfunction/failure). Asymptomatic infection has been reported, but the majority of the relatively rare cases who are asymptomatic on the date of identification/report went on to develop disease. The proportion of truly asymptomatic infections is unclear but appears to be relatively rare and does not appear to be a major driver of transmission.
Individuals at highest risk for severe disease and death include people aged over 60 years and those with underlying conditions such as hypertension, diabetes, cardiovascular disease, chronic respiratory disease and cancer. Disease in children appears to be relatively rare and mild with approximately 2.4% of the total reported cases reported amongst individuals aged under 19 years. A very small proportion of those aged under 19 years have developed severe (2.5%) or critical disease (0.2%).
As of 20 February, 2114 of the 55,924 laboratory confirmed cases have died (crude fatality ratio [CFR2] 3.8%) (note: at least some of whom were identified using a case definition that included pulmonary disease). The overall CFR varies by location and intensity of transmission (i.e. 5.8% in Wuhan vs. 0.7% in other areas in China). In China, the overall CFR was higher in the early stages of the outbreak (17.3% for cases with symptom onset from 1- 10 January) and has reduced over time to 0.7% for patients with symptom onset after 1 February (Figure 4). The Joint Mission noted that the standard of care has evolved over the course of the outbreak.
Mortality increases with age, with the highest mortality among people over 80 years of age (CFR 21.9%). The CFR is higher among males compared to females (4.7% vs. 2.8%). By occupation, patients who reported being retirees had the highest CFR at 8.9%. While patients who reported no comorbid conditions had a CFR of 1.4%, patients with comorbid conditions had much higher rates: 13.2% for those with cardiovascular disease, 9.2% for diabetes, 8.4% for hypertension, 8.0% for chronic respiratory disease, and 7.6% for cancer.
2 The Joint Mission acknowledges the known challenges and biases of reporting crude CFR early in an epidemic.

Figure 4 Case fatality ratio (reported deaths among total cases) for COVID-19 in China over time and by location, as of 20 February 2020
Data on the progression of disease is available from a limited number of reported hospitalized cases (Figure 5). Based on available information, the median time from symptom onset to laboratory confirmation nationally decreased from 12 days (range 8-18 days) in early January to 3 days (1-7) by early February 2020, and in Wuhan from 15 days (10-21) to 5 days (3-9), respectively. This has allowed for earlier case and contact identification, isolation and treatment.
Moderate
Figure 5. Pattern of disease progression for COVID-19 in China Note: the relative size of the boxes for disease severity and outcome reflect the proportion of cases reported as of 20 February 2020. The size of the arrows indicates the proportion of cases who recovered or died. Disease definitions are described above. Moderate cases have a mild form of pneumonia.
13 Using available preliminary data, the median time from onset to clinical recovery for mild cases is approximately 2 weeks and is 3-6 weeks for patients with severe or critical disease. Preliminary data suggests that the time period from onset to the development of severe disease, including hypoxia, is 1 week. Among patients who have died, the time from symptom onset to outcome ranges from 2-8 weeks.
An increasing number of patients have recovered; as of 20 February, 18264 (24%) reported cases have recovered. Encouragingly, a report on 20 February from the Guangdong CDC suggests that of 125 severe cases identified in Guangdong, 33 (26.4%) have recovered and been released from hospital, and 58 (46.4%) had improved and were reclassified as having mild/moderate disease (i.e. + milder pneumonia). Among severe cases reported to date, 13.4% have died. Early identification of cases and contacts allows for earlier treatment.
The China response
Upon the detection of a cluster of pneumonia cases of unknown etiology in Wuhan, the CPC Central Committee and the State Council launched the national emergency response. A Central Leadership Group for Epidemic Response and the Joint Prevention and Control Mechanism of the State Council were established. General Secretary Xi Jinping personally directed and deployed the prevention and control work and requested that the prevention and control of the COVID-19 outbreak be the top priority of government at all levels. Prime Minister Li Keqiang headed the Central Leading Group for Epidemic Response and went to Wuhan to inspect and coordinate the prevention and control work of relevant departments and provinces (autonomous regions and municipalities) across the country. Vice Premier Sun Chunlan, who has been working on the frontlines in Wuhan, has led and coordinated the frontline prevention and control of the outbreak.
The prevention and control measures have been implemented rapidly, from the early stages in Wuhan and other key areas of Hubei, to the current overall national epidemic. It has been undertaken in three main phases, with two important events defining those phases. First, COVID-19 was included in the statutory report of Class B infectious diseases and border health quarantine infectious diseases on 20 January 2020, which marked the transition from the initial partial control approach to the comprehensive adoption of various control measures in accordance with the law. The second event was the State Council’s issuing, on 8 February 2020, of The Notice on Orderly Resuming Production and Resuming Production in Enterprises, which indicated that China’s national epidemic control work had entered a stage of overall epidemic prevention and control together with the restoration of normal social and economic operations.
The first stage During the early stage of the outbreak, the main strategy focused on preventing the exportation of cases from Wuhan and other priority areas of Hubei Province, and preventing the importation of cases by other provinces; the overall aim was to control the source of infection, block transmission and prevent further spread. The response mechanism was initiated with multi-sectoral involvement in joint prevention and control measures. Wet markets were closed, and efforts were made to identify the zoonotic source. Information on the epidemic was notified to WHO on 3 January, and whole genome sequences of the COVID-19 virus were shared with WHO on 10 January. Protocols for COVID-19 diagnosis and
14 treatment, surveillance, epidemiological investigation, management of close contacts, and laboratory testing were formulated, and relevant surveillance activities and epidemiological investigations conducted. Diagnostic testing kits were developed, and wildlife and live poultry markets were placed under strict supervision and control measures.
The second stage During the second stage of the outbreak, the main strategy was to reduce the intensity of the epidemic and to slow down the increase in cases. In Wuhan and other priority areas of Hubei Province, the focus was on actively treating patients, reducing deaths, and preventing exportations. In other provinces, the focus was on preventing importations, curbing the spread of the disease and implementing joint prevention and control measures. Nationally, wildlife markets were closed and wildlife captive-breeding facilities were cordoned off. On 20 January, COVID-19 was included in the notifiable report of Class B infectious diseases and border health quarantine infectious diseases, with temperature checks, health care declarations, and quarantine against COVID-19 instituted at transportation depots in accordance with the law. On 23 January, Wuhan implemented strict traffic restrictions. The protocols for diagnosis, treatment and epidemic prevention and control were improved; case isolation and treatment were strengthened.
Measures were taken to ensure that all cases were treated, and close contacts were isolated and put under medical observation. Other measures implemented included the extension of the Spring Festival holiday, traffic controls, and the control of transportation capacity to reduce the movement of people; mass gathering activities were also cancelled. Information about the epidemic and prevention and control measures was regularly released. Public risk communications and health education were strengthened; allocation of medical supplies was coordinated, new hospitals were built, reserve beds were used and relevant premises were repurposed to ensure that all cases could be treated; efforts were made to maintain a stable supply of commodities and their prices to ensure the smooth operation of society.
The third stage The third stage of the outbreak focused on reducing clusters of cases, thoroughly controlling the epidemic, and striking a balance between epidemic prevention and control, sustainable economic and social development, the unified command, standardized guidance, and scientific evidence-based policy implementation. For Wuhan and other priority areas of Hubei Province, the focus was on patient treatment and the interruption of transmission, with an emphasis on concrete steps to fully implement relevant measures for the testing, admitting and treating of all patients. A risk-based prevention and control approach was adopted with differentiated prevention and control measures for different regions of the country and provinces. Relevant measures were strengthened in the areas of epidemiological investigation, case management and epidemic prevention in high-risk public places.
New technologies were applied such as the use of big data and artificial intelligence (AI) to strengthen contact tracing and the management of priority populations. Relevant health insurance policies were promulgated on "health insurance payment, off-site settlement, and financial compensation". All provinces provided support to Wuhan and priority areas in Hubei Province in an effort to quickly curb the spread of the disease and provide timely clinical treatment. Pre-school preparation was improved, and work resumed in phases and
15 batches. Health and welfare services were provided to returning workers in a targeted and ‘one-stop’ manner. Normal social operations are being restored in a stepwise fashion; knowledge about disease prevention is being popularized to improve public health literacy and skills; and a comprehensive program of emergency scientific research is being carried out to develop diagnostics, therapeutics and vaccines, delineate the spectrum of the disease, and identify the source of the virus.
Knowledge gaps
Since the start of the COVID-19 outbreak, there have been extensive attempts to better understand the virus and the disease in China. It is remarkable how much knowledge about a new virus has been gained in such a short time. However, as with all new diseases, and only 7 weeks after this outbreak began, key knowledge gaps remain. Annex D summarizes the key unknowns in a number of areas including the source of infection, pathogenesis and virulence of the virus, transmissibility, risk factors for infection and disease progression, surveillance, diagnostics, clinical management of severe and critically ill patients, and the effectiveness of prevention and control measures. The timely filling of these knowledge gaps is imperative to enhance control strategies.
III. Assessment
The Joint Mission drew four major conclusions from its work in China and four major conclusions from its knowledge of the broader global response to COVID-19. Recommendations are offered in five major areas to inform the ongoing response globally and in China.
The China Response & Next Steps
1. In the face of a previously unknown virus, China has rolled out perhaps the most ambitious, agile and aggressive disease containment effort in history. The strategy that underpinned this containment effort was initially a national approach that promoted universal temperature monitoring, masking, and hand washing. However, as the outbreak evolved, and knowledge was gained, a science and risk-based approach was taken to tailor implementation. Specific containment measures were adjusted to the provincial, county and even community context, the capacity of the setting, and the nature of novel coronavirus transmission there.
While the fundamental principles of this strategy have been consistent since its launch, there has been constant refinement of specific aspects to incorporate new knowledge on the novel coronavirus, the COVID-19 disease, and COVID-19 containment, as rapidly as that knowledge has emerged. The remarkable speed with which Chinese scientists and public health experts isolated the causative virus, established diagnostic tools, and determined key transmission parameters, such as the route of spread and incubation period, provided the vital evidence base for China’s strategy, gaining invaluable time for the response.
16 As striking, has been the uncompromising rigor of strategy application that proved to be a hallmark in every setting and context where it was examined. There has also been a relentless focus on improving key performance indicators, for example constantly enhancing the speed of case detection, isolation and early treatment. The implementation of these containment measures has been supported and enabled by the innovative and aggressive use of cutting edge technologies, from shifting to online medical platforms for routine care and schooling, to the use of 5G platforms to support rural response operations.
2. Achieving China’s exceptional coverage with and adherence to these containment measures has only been possible due to the deep commitment of the Chinese people to collective action in the face of this common threat. At a community level this is reflected in the remarkable solidarity of provinces and cities in support of the most vulnerable populations and communities. Despite ongoing outbreaks in their own areas, Governors and Mayors have continued to send thousands of health care workers and tons of vital PPE supplies into Hubei province and Wuhan city.
At the individual level, the Chinese people have reacted to this outbreak with courage and conviction. They have accepted and adhered to the starkest of containment measures – whether the suspension of public gatherings, the month-long ‘stay at home’ advisories or prohibitions on travel. Throughout an intensive 9-days of site visits across China, in frank discussions from the level of local community mobilizers and frontline health care providers to top scientists, Governors and Mayors, the Joint Mission was struck by the sincerity and dedication that each brings to this COVID-19 response.
3. China’s bold approach to contain the rapid spread of this new respiratory pathogen has changed the course of a rapidly escalating and deadly epidemic. A particularly compelling statistic is that on the first day of the advance team’s work there were 2478 newly confirmed cases of COVID-19 reported in China. Two weeks later, on the final day of this Mission, China reported 409 newly confirmed cases. This decline in COVID-19 cases across China is real.
Several sources of data support this conclusion, including the steep decline in fever clinic visits, the opening up of treatment beds as cured patients are discharged, and the challenges to recruiting new patients for clinical trials. Based on a comparison of crude attack rates across provinces, the Joint Mission estimates that this truly all-of- Government and all-of-society approach that has been taken in China has averted or at least delayed hundreds of thousands of COVID-19 cases in the country. By extension, the reduction that has been achieved in the force of COVID-19 infection in China has also played a significant role in protecting the global community and creating a stronger first line of defense against international spread. Containing this outbreak, however, has come at great cost and sacrifice by China and its people, in both human and material terms.
While the scale and impact of China’s COVID-19 operation has been remarkable, it has also highlighted areas for improvement in public health emergency response capacity.
17 These include overcoming any obstacles to act immediately on early alerts, to massively scale-up capacity for isolation and care, to optimize the protection of frontline health care workers in all settings, to enhance collaborative action on priority gaps in knowledge and tools, and to more clearly communicate key data and developments internationally.
4. China is already, and rightfully, working to bolster its economy, reopen its schools and return to a more normal semblance of its society, even as it works to contain the remaining chains of COVID-19 transmission. Appropriately, a science-based, risk- informed and phased approach is being taken, with a clear recognition and readiness of the need to immediately react to any new COVID-19 cases or clusters as key elements of the containment strategy are lifted.
Despite the declining case numbers, across China every province, city and community visited is urgently escalating their investments in acute care beds and public health capacity. It is crucial that this continues. Fifty thousand infected COVID-19 patient are still under treatment, across the country. However, the Joint Mission has come to understand the substantial knowledge, experience and capacities that China has rapidly built during this crisis. Consequently, it endorses China’s working assumption that in most provinces and municipalities it should soon be possible to manage a resurgence in COVID-19 cases, using even more tailored and sustainable approaches that are anchored in very rapid case detection, instant activation of key containment activities, direct oversight by top leadership, and broad community engagement.
As China works to resume a more normal level of societal and economic activity, it is essential that the world recognizes and reacts positively to the rapidly changing, and decreasing, risk of COVID-19 in the country. China’s rapid return to full connectivity with the world, and to full productivity and economic output, is vital to China and to the world. The world urgently needs access to China’s experience in responding to COVID- 19, as well as the material goods it brings to the global response. It is even more urgent now, with escalating COVID-19 outbreaks outside of China, to constantly reassess any restrictions on travel and/or trade to China that go beyond the recommendations of the IHR Emergency Committee on COVID-19.
The Global Response & Next Steps
1. The COVID-19 virus is a new pathogen that is highly contagious, can spread quickly, and must be considered capable of causing enormous health, economic and societal impacts in any setting. It is not SARS and it is not influenza. Building scenarios and strategies only on the basis of well-known pathogens risks failing to exploit all possible measures to slow transmission of the COVID-19 virus, reduce disease and save lives.
COVID-19 is not SARS and it is not influenza. It is a new virus with its own characteristics. For example, COVID-19 transmission in children appears to be limited compared with influenza, while the clinical picture differs from SARS. Such differences, while based on limited data, may be playing a role in the apparent efficacy of rigorously
18 applied non-pharmaceutical, public health measures to interrupt chains of human-to- human transmission in a range of settings in China. The COVID-19 virus is unique among human coronaviruses in its combination of high transmissibility, substantial fatal outcomes in some high-risk groups, and ability to cause huge societal and economic disruption. For planning purposes, it must be assumed that the global population is susceptible to this virus. As the animal origin of the COVID-19 virus is unknown at present, the risk of reintroduction into previously infected areas must be constantly considered.
The novel nature, and our continuously evolving understanding, of this coronavirus demands a tremendous agility in our capacity to rapidly adapt and change our readiness and response planning as has been done continually in China. This is an extraordinary feat for a country of 1.4 billion people.
2. China’s uncompromising and rigorous use of non-pharmaceutical measures to contain transmission of the COVID-19 virus in multiple settings provides vital lessons for the global response. This rather unique and unprecedented public health response in China reversed the escalating cases in both Hubei, where there has been widespread community transmission, and in the importation provinces, where family clusters appear to have driven the outbreak.
Although the timing of the outbreak in China has been relatively similar across the country, transmission chains were established in a wide diversity of settings, from mega- cities in the north and south of the country, to remote communities. However, the rapid adaptation and tailoring of China’s strategy demonstrated that containment can be adapted and successfully operationalized in a wide range of settings.
China’s experience strongly supports the efficacy and effectiveness of anchoring COVID- 19 readiness and rapid response plans in a thorough assessment of local risks and of utilizing a differentiated risk-based containment strategy to manage the outbreak in areas with no cases vs. sporadic cases vs. clusters of cases vs. community-level transmission. Such a strategy is essential for ensuring a sustainable approach while minimizing the socio-economic impact.
3. Much of the global community is not yet ready, in mindset and materially, to implement the measures that have been employed to contain COVID-19 in China. These are the only measures that are currently proven to interrupt or minimize transmission chains in humans. Fundamental to these measures is extremely proactive surveillance to immediately detect cases, very rapid diagnosis and immediate case isolation, rigorous tracking and quarantine of close contacts, and an exceptionally high degree of population understanding and acceptance of these measures.
Achieving the high quality of implementation needed to be successful with such measures requires an unusual and unprecedented speed of decision-making by top leaders, operational thoroughness by public health systems, and engagement of society.
19 Given the damage that can be caused by uncontrolled, community-level transmission of this virus, such an approach is warranted to save lives and to gain the weeks and months needed for the testing of therapeutics and vaccine development. Furthermore, as the majority of new cases outside of China are currently occurring in high and middle- income countries, a rigorous commitment to slowing transmission in such settings with non-pharmaceutical measures is vital to achieving a second line of defense to protect low income countries that have weaker health systems and coping capacities.
The time that can be gained through the full application of these measures – even if just days or weeks – can be invaluable in ultimately reducing COVID-19 illness and deaths. This is apparent in the huge increase in knowledge, approaches and even tools that has taken place in just the 7 weeks since this virus was discovered through the rapid scientific work that has been done in China.
4. The time gained by rigorously applying COVID-19 containment measures must be used more effectively to urgently enhance global readiness and rapidly develop the specific tools that are needed to ultimately stop this virus.
COVID-19 is spreading with astonishing speed; COVID-19 outbreaks in any setting have very serious consequences; and there is now strong evidence that non-pharmaceutical interventions can reduce and even interrupt transmission. Concerningly, global and national preparedness planning is often ambivalent about such interventions. However, to reduce COVID-19 illness and death, near-term readiness planning must embrace the large-scale implementation of high-quality, non-pharmaceutical public health measures. These measures must fully incorporate immediate case detection and isolation, rigorous close contact tracing and monitoring/quarantine, and direct population/community engagement.
A huge array of COVID-19 studies, scientific research projects and product R&D efforts are ongoing in China and globally. This is essential and to be encouraged and supported. However, such a large number of projects and products needs to be prioritized. Without prioritizing, this risks compromising the concentration of attention and resources and collaboration required to cut timelines by precious weeks and months. While progress has been made, the urgency of the COVID-19 situation supports an even more ruthless prioritization of research in the areas of diagnostics, therapeutics and vaccines.
Similarly, there is a long list of proposed studies on the origins of COVID-19, the natural history of the disease, and the virus’s transmission dynamics. However, the urgency of responding to cases and saving lives makes it difficult for policy makers to consider and act on such comprehensive lists. This can be addressed by balancing studies with the immediate public health and clinical needs of the response. Studies can be prioritized in terms of the largest knowledge gaps that can be most rapidly addressed to have greatest immediate impact on response operations and patient management. This suggests prioritizing studies to identify risk factors for transmission in households, institutions and the community; convenience sampling for this virus in the population using existing surveillance systems; age-stratified sero-epidemiologic surveys; the analysis of clinical case series; and cluster investigations.

IV. Major Recommendations
For China
1. Maintain an appropriate level of emergency management protocols, depending on the assessed risk in each area and recognizing the real risk of new cases and clusters of COVID-19 as economic activity resumes, movement restrictions are lifted, and schools reopen;
2. Carefully monitor the phased lifting of the current restrictions on movement and public gatherings, beginning with the return of workers and migrant labor, followed by the eventual reopening of schools and lifting other measures;
3. Further strengthen the readiness of emergency management mechanisms, public health institutions (e.g. CDCs), medical facilities, and community engagement mechanisms to ensure sustained capacity to immediately launch containment activities in response to any resurgence in cases;
4. Prioritize research that rapidly informs response and risk management decisions, particularly household and health care facility studies, age-stratified sero- epidemiologic surveys and rigorous investigation of the animal-human interface; establish a centralized research program to fast-track the most promising rapid diagnostics and serologic assays, the testing of potential antivirals and vaccine candidates, and Chinese engagement in selected multi-country trials; and
5. As the country with the greatest knowledge on COVID-19, further enhance the systematic and real-time sharing of epidemiologic data, clinical results and experience to inform the global response.
For countries with imported cases and/or outbreaks of COVID-19
1. Immediately activate the highest level of national Response Management protocols to ensure the all-of-government and all-of-society approach needed to contain COVID-19 with non-pharmaceutical public health measures;
2. Prioritize active, exhaustive case finding and immediate testing and isolation, painstaking contact tracing and rigorous quarantine of close contacts;
3. Fully educate the general public on the seriousness of COVID-19 and their role in preventing its spread;
4. Immediately expand surveillance to detect COVID-19 transmission chains, by testing all patients with atypical pneumonias, conducting screening in some patients with upper respiratory illnesses and/or recent COVID-19 exposure, and adding testing for the COVID-19 virus to existing surveillance systems (e.g. systems for influenza-like-illness and SARI); and
21 5. Conduct multi-sector scenario planning and simulations for the deployment of even more stringent measures to interrupt transmission chains as needed (e.g. the suspension of large-scale gatherings and the closure of schools and workplaces).
For uninfected countries
1. Prepare to immediately activate the highest level of emergency response mechanisms to trigger the all-of-government and all-of society approach that is essential for early containment of a COVID-19 outbreak;
2. Rapidly test national preparedness plans in light of new knowledge on the effectiveness of non-pharmaceutical measures against COVID-19; incorporate rapid detection, largescale case isolation and respiratory support capacities, and rigorous contact tracing and management in national COVID-19 readiness and response plans and capacities;
3. Immediately enhance surveillance for COVID-19 as rapid detection is crucial to containing spread; consider testing all patients with atypical pneumonia for the COVID-19 virus, and adding testing for the virus to existing influenza surveillance systems;
4. Begin now to enforce rigorous application of infection prevention and control measures in all healthcare facilities, especially in emergency departments and outpatient clinics, as this is where COVID-19 will enter the health system; and
5. Rapidly assess the general population’s understanding of COVID-19, adjust national health promotion materials and activities accordingly, and engage clinical champions to communicate with the media.
For the public
1. Recognize that COVID-19 is a new and concerning disease, but that outbreaks can managed with the right response and that the vast majority of infected people will recover;
2. Begin now to adopt and rigorously practice the most important preventive measures for COVID-19 by frequent hand washing and always covering your mouth and nose when sneezing or coughing;
3. Continually update yourself on COVID-19 and its signs and symptoms (i.e. fever and dry cough), because the strategies and response activities will constantly improve as new information on this disease is accumulating every day; and
4. Be prepared to actively support a response to COVID-19 in a variety of ways, including the adoption of more stringent ‘social distancing’ practices and helping the high-risk elderly population.
22 For the international community
1. Recognize that true solidarity and collaboration is essential between nations to tackle the common threat that COVID-19 represents and operationalize this principle;
2. Rapidly share information as required under the International Health Regulations (IHR) including detailed information about imported cases to facilitate contact tracing and inform containment measures that span countries;
3. Recognize the rapidly changing risk profile of COVID-19 affected countries and continually monitor outbreak trends and control capacities to reassess any ‘additional health measures’ that significantly interfere with international travel and trade.

26 C. Detailed Technical Findings
Response management, case and contact management, risk communication and community engagement
The response structures in China were rapidly put in place according to existing emergency plans and aligned from the top to the bottom. This was replicated at the four levels of government (national provincial, prefecture and county/district).
Organizational structure and response mechanism
Response activation at the national level: COVID-19 prevention and control mechanisms were initiated immediately after the outbreak was declared and nine working groups were set up to coordinate the response: a) Coordination b) Epidemic prevention and control c) Medical treatment d) Research e) Public communication f) Foreign affairs g) Medical material support h) Life maintenance supplies and i) Social stability. Each working group has a ministerial level leader. Emergency response laws and regulations for the emergency response to public health emergencies, prevention and control of infectious diseases have been developed or updated to guide the response.
Response activation in provinces: Each province set up a similar structure to manage the outbreak. The response is organized at the levels of national, provincial, prefecture, county/district and the community. By 29 January, all provinces across China had launched the highest level of response for major public health emergencies.
Response Strategy
A clear strategy was developed, and goals were well articulated and communicated across the entire response architecture. This strategy was rapidly adapted and adjusted to the outbreak, both in terms of the epidemiological situation over time and in different parts of the country.
The epidemiological situation has been used to define location into four areas: • In areas without cases, the strategy in these areas is to "strictly prevent introduction". This includes quarantine arrangements in transportation hubs, monitoring for temperature changes, strengthening of triage arrangements, use of fever clinics, and ensuring normal economic and social operations. • In areas with sporadic cases, the strategy is focused on "reducing importation, stopping transmission and providing appropriate treatment". • In areas with community clusters, the strategy is focussed on "stopping transmission, preventing exportation, and strengthening treatment". • In areas with community transmission, the strictest prevention and control strategies are being implemented, the entry and exit of people from these areas has been stopped and public health and medical treatment measures are comprehensively strengthened.
27
Main control measures implemented in China
The main control measures implemented in China are as follows and are illustrated in Figures 6A-6D, representing the national level response and examples of the response at the Provincial and municipal levels:
Monitoring and reporting: COVID-19 was included in the statutory reporting of infectious diseases on 20 January and plans were formulated to strengthen diagnosis, monitoring, and reporting.
Strengthening ports of entry and quarantine: The Customs Department launched the emergency plan for public health emergencies at ports across the country and restarted the health declaration card system for entry and exit into cities as well as strict monitoring of the temperature of entry and exit passengers.
Treatment: For severe or critical patients, the principle of "Four Concentrations" was implemented: i.e. concentrating patients, medical experts, resources and treatment into special centres. All cities and districts transformed relevant hospitals, increased the number of designated hospitals, dispatched medical staff, and set up expert groups for consultation, so as to minimise mortality of severe patients. Medical resources from all over China have been mobilized to support the medical treatment of patients in Wuhan.
Epidemiological investigation and close contact management: Strong epidemiological investigations are being carried out for cases, clusters, and contacts to identify the source of infection and implement targeted control measures, such as contact tracing.
Social distancing: At the national level, the State Council extended the Spring Festival holiday in 2020, all parts of the country actively cancelled or suspended activities like sport events, cinema, theatre, and schools and colleges in all parts of the country postponed re- opening after the holiday. Enterprises and institutions have staggered their return to work. Transportation Departments setup thousands of health and quarantine stations in national service areas, and in entrances and exits for passengers at stations. Hubei Province adopted the most stringent traffic control measures, such as suspension of urban public transport, including subway, ferry and long-distance passenger transport. Every citizen has to wear a mask in public. Home support mechanisms were established. As a consequence of all of these measures, public life is very reduced.
Funding and material support: Payment of health insurance was taken over by the state, as well as the work to improve accessibility and affordability of medical materials, provide personal protection materials, and ensure basic living materials for affected people.
Emergency material support: The government restored production and expanded production capacity, organized key enterprises that have already started to exceed current production capacity, supported local enterprises to expand imports, and used cross-border e-commerce platforms and enterprises to help import medical materials and improve the ability to guarantee supplies.

Risk communications (information release, public and media communications)
International and interregional cooperation and information sharing: From 3 January 2020, information on COVID-19 cases has been reported to WHO daily. Full genome sequences of the new virus were shared with WHO and the international community immediately after the pathogen was identified on 7 January. From 13 to 14 January, a group of technical experts from Hong Kong SAR, Macao SAR and Taiwan, China visited Wuhan. From 20-21 January, a World Health Organization team visited Wuhan. A set of nucleic acid primers and probes for PCR detection for COVID-19 was released on 21 January.
Daily updates: The National Health Commission announces the epidemic situation every day and holds daily press conferences to respond to emerging issues. The government also frequently invites experts to share scientific knowledge on COVID-19 and to address public concerns.
Psychological care: This is provided to patients and the public. Governments at all levels, NGOs and all sectors of society developed guidelines for emergency psychological crisis intervention and guidelines for public psychological self-support and counselling. A hotline for mental health services has been established for the public.
IT platform: China has capitalized on the use of technology, big data and AI for COVID-19 preparedness, readiness and response. Authoritative and reliable information, medical guidance, access to online services, provision of educational tools and remote work tools have been developed in and used across China. These services have increased accessibility to health services, reduced misinformation and minimized the impact of fake news.
Social mobilization and community engagement
Civil society organizations (community centers and public health centers) have been mobilized to support prevention and response activities. The community has largely accepted the prevention and control measures and is fully participating in the management of self-isolation and enhancement of public compliance. Community volunteers are organized to support self-isolation and help isolated residents at home to solve practical life difficulties. Measures were taken to limit the movement of the population through home- based support. Up to now, outside of Hubei, 30 provinces have registered and managed more than 5 million people coming from Wuhan.
Clinical case management and infection prevention and control
The main signs and symptoms of COVID-19 include fever, dry cough, fatigue, sputum production, shortness of breath, myalgia or arthralgia, sore throat, and headache. Nausea or vomiting has been reported in a small percentage of patients (5%). On 14 February, China CDC described the clinical features, outcomes, laboratory and radiologic findings of 44 672 laboratory-confirmed cases. Only 965 (2.2%) were under 20 years of age and there is just one recorded death (0.1%) in this age group. Most patients (77.8%) were aged 30 to 69 years. Patients aged over 80 years had a CFR of 14.8%. The CFR was highest in those with
31 comorbidities including cardiovascular, diabetes, chronic respiratory disease, hypertension and cancer.
As opposed to Influenza A(H1N1)pdm09, pregnant women do not appear to be at higher risk of severe disease. In an investigation of 147 pregnant women (64 confirmed, 82 suspected and 1 asymptomatic), 8% had severe disease and 1% were critical.
Severe cases are defined as tachypnoea (≧30 breaths/ min) or oxygen saturation ≤93% at rest, or PaO2/FIO2 <300 mmHg. Critical cases are defined as respiratory failure requiring mechanical ventilation, shock or other organ failure that requires intensive care. About a quarter of severe and critical cases require mechanical ventilation while the remaining 75% require only oxygen supplementation.
China has a principle of early identification, early isolation, early diagnosis and early treatment. Early identification of suspect cases is critical to containment efforts and occurs via a process of temperature screening and questioning at entrances to many institutions, communities, travel venues (airports, train stations) and hospitals. Many hospitals have fever clinics that were established and maintained since the SARS outbreak. In China, laboratory tests were originally requested according to the case definitions, which included an epidemiological link to Hubei or other confirmed cases. However, more recently, a more liberal clinical testing regimen allows clinicians to test with a low index of suspicion.
Suspect cases are isolated in normal pressure single rooms, wear a surgical mask (for source control). Staff in China wear a cap, eye protection, n95 masks, gown and gloves (single use only). In Wuhan it is necessary for most suspects to be cohorted in a normal pressure isolation ward. Staff wear PPE continuously, changing it only when they leave the ward.
PCR test results are returned the same day. If positive, patients are transported to designated hospitals (including negative pressure ambulances in some cities). All patients, including the mild and asymptomatic, with a positive test are admitted. The designated hospitals are known and are strategically placed with at least one per district/county. Positive cases are cohorted by gender. Negative tested patients are managed based on clinical needs. All patients are evaluated with a respiratory multiplex to look for other diagnoses. This can add to the reassurance that a negative COVID-19 test reflects a lack of infection with COVID-19.
In Wuhan, there are 45 designated hospitals, 6 of which are designated for critical patients, and 39 for severe patients and/or any patients >65 years old. There are an additional 10 temporary hospitals reconstructed from gymnasium and exhibition centers, which are for mild patients. Other surge measures undertaken in Wuhan include two new temporary hospitals with 2600 beds, plus many makeshift hospitals to increase bed capacity. Bed capacity within Wuhan has increased to >50,000.
Patients are treated according to the National Clinical guidelines (edition 6) released by the China National Health Commission (NHC). There are no specific antiviral or immune modulating agents proven (or recommended) to improve outcomes. All patients are monitored by regular pulse oximetry. The guidelines include supportive care by clinical category (mild, moderate, severe and critical), as well as the role of investigational
32 treatments such as chloroquine, phosphate, lopinavir/ritonavir, alpha interferon, ribavirin, arbidol. The application of intubation/invasive ventilation and ECMO in critically ill patients can improve survival. The Joint Mission Team was told of ECMO use in four patients at one hospital with one death and three who appeared to be improving. Clearly, though ECMO is very resource consumptive, any health system would need to carefully weigh the benefits. There is widespread use of Traditional Chinese Medicines (TCM), for which the affects must be fully evaluated.
Patients with COVID-19 are not permitted visitors. Staff use coveralls, masks, eye cover, and gloves, removing PPE only when they leave the ward.
Patients are discharged after clinical recovery (afebrile >3 days, resolution of symptoms and radiologic improvement) and 2 negative PCR tests taken 24 hours apart. Upon discharge, they are asked to minimise family and social contact and to wear a mask. There are expectations of clinical trial results within a matter of weeks, which will see further opportunities for treatment.
There are guidelines for elderly care specifically targeting prevention in individuals and introduction of COVID-19 to nursing homes.
Training programmes by video conference nationally are scaled up to inform staff of best practice and to ensure PPE usage. Clinical champions are created to disperse knowledge and provide local expertise.
Maintenance of usual healthcare activities is maintained by hospital zoning (e.g. clean/contaminated sections of the healthcare facility).
Laboratory, diagnostics and virology
The virus found to cause COVID-19 was initially isolated from a clinical sample on 7 January. It is notable that within weeks following the identification of the virus, a series of reliable and sensitive diagnostic tools were developed and deployed. On 16 January, the first RT- PCR assays for COVID-19 were distributed to Hubei. Real-time PCR kits were distributed to all the provinces on 19 January and were provided to Hong Kong SAR and Macao SAR on 21 January. Information regarding viral sequences and PCR primers and probes was shared with WHO and the international community by China CDC on 12 January 2020. To facilitate product development and research on the new virus, COVID-19 virus sequences were uploaded to the GISAID Database by China.
By 23 February, there were 10 kits for detection of COVID-19 approved in China by the NMPA, including 6 RT-PCR kits, 1 isothermal amplification kit, 1 virus sequencing product and 2 colloidal gold antibody detection kits. Several other tests are entered in the emergency approval procedure. Currently, there are at least 6 local producers of PCR test kits approved by NMPA. Overall, producers have the capacity to produce and distribute as many as 1,650,000 tests/week.
33 Specimens from both the upper respiratory tract (URT; nasopharyngeal and oropharyngeal) and lower respiratory tract (LRT; expectorated sputum, endotracheal aspirate, or bronchoalveolar lavage) are collected for COVID-19 testing by PCR.
COVID-19 virus has been detected in respiratory, fecal and blood specimens. According to preliminary data from Guangzhou CDC as of 20 February, virus can initially be detected in upper respiratory samples 1-2 days prior to symptom onset and persist for 7-12 days in moderate cases and up to 2 weeks in severe cases. Viral RNA has been detected in feces in up to 30% of patients from day 5 following onset of symptoms and has been noted for up to 4-5 weeks in moderate cases. However, it is not clear whether this correlates with the presence of infectious virus. While live virus has been cultured from stool in some cases, the role of fecal-oral transmission is not yet well understood. COVID-19 has been isolated from the clinical specimens using human airway epithelial cells, Vero E6 and Huh-7 cell lines.
Serological diagnostics are rapidly being developed but are not yet widely used. Joint Mission members met with local research teams at the China CDC, Guangzhou Regenerative Medicine and Health Guangdong Laboratory. The teams reported on the development of tests for IgM, IgG and IgM+IgG using rapid test platforms utilizing chemiluminiscence. ELISA assays are also under development.
Research & Development
The government of China has initiated a series of major emergency research programs on virus genomics, antivirals, traditional Chinese medicines, clinical trials, vaccines, diagnostics and animal models. Research includes fundamental basic research and human subjects research. For the purpose of this report, human studies are limited to those involving IRB approval and informed consent. Other forms of human subjects investigations are included in the sections on epidemiology in this report. Well-focused, robust research conducted in the setting of an outbreak has the potential of saving many lives by identifying the most effective ways to prevent, diagnose and treat disease.
Since the COVID-19 virus has a genome identity of 96% to a bat SARS-like coronavirus and 86%-92% to a pangolin SARS-like coronavirus, an animal source for COVID-19 is highly likely. This was corroborated by the high number of RT-PCR positive environmental samples taken from the Huanan Seafood Market in Wuhan.
At least 8 nucleic acid-based methods for direct detection of COVID-19 and two colloidal gold antibody detection kits have been approved in China by the NMPA. Several other tests are close to approval. It will be important to compare the sensitivities and specificities of these and future serologic tests. Development of rapid and accurate point-of-care tests which perform well in field settings are especially useful if the test can be incorporated into presently commercially available multiplex respiratory virus panels. This would markedly improve early detection and isolation of infected patients and, by extension, identification of contacts. Rapid IgM and IgG antibody testing are also important ways to facilitate early diagnosis. Standard serologic testing can be used for retrospective diagnoses in the context of serosurveys that help better understand the full spectrum of COVID-19 infection.
34 A variety of repurposed drugs and investigational drugs have been identified. Screening NMPA approved drug libraries and other chemical libraries have identified novel agents. Hundreds of clinical trials involving remdesivir, chloroquine, favipiravir, chloroquine, convalescent plasma, TCM and other interventions are planned or underway. Rapid completion of the most important of these studies is critical to identifying truly effective therapies. However, evaluation of investigational agents requires adequately powered, randomized, controlled trials with realistic eligibility criteria and appropriate stratification of patients. It is important for there to be a degree of coordination between those conducting studies within and beyond China.
The development of a safe and effective vaccine for this highly communicable respiratory virus is an important epidemic control measure. Recombinant protein, mRNA, DNA, inactivated whole virus and recombinant adenovirus vaccines are being developed and some are now entering animal studies. Vaccine safety is of prime concern in the area of coronavirus infection in view of the past experience of disease enhancement by inactivated whole virus measles vaccine and similar reports in animal experiments with SARS coronavirus vaccines. It will be important that these vaccine candidates rapidly move into appropriate clinical trials.
The ideal animal model for studying routes of virus transmission, pathogenesis, antiviral therapy, vaccine and immune responses has yet to be found. The ACE2 transgenic mouse model and Macaca Rhesus model are already used in research laboratories. Systematically addressing which models can accurately mimic human infection is required.
There is a global rush for masks, hand hygiene products and other personal protective equipment. The relative importance of non-pharmaceutical control measures including masks, hand hygiene, and social distancing require further research to quantify their impact.
There are distinct patterns of intra-familial transmission of COVID-19. It is unclear whether or not there are host factors, including genetic factors, that influence susceptibility or disease course. COVID-19 has a varied clinical course and a precise description of that course is not available. In addition, the long-term consequences of COVID-19 are unknown. An observational cohort study of patients with COVID-19 enrolled from the time of diagnosis (with appropriate controls) could provide in-depth information about clinical, virologic and immunologic characteristics of COVID-19. Table 1 summarizes priority research areas with immediate to longer term goals.

______
37 E. Operational & Technical Recommendations
Operational/programmatic recommendations • Reassess risk and capacities based on different stages of the outbreak; approve different measures during the different phases of the response; assess different stages of the response; reach a balance between response and social development • Initiate a timely scientific evidence based, efficient and flexible joint multi-sectoral mechanism, which is driven by strong government leadership
Technical recommendations
Epidemiology and transmission • Continue enhanced surveillance across the country through existing respiratory disease systems, including ILI, SARI or pneumonia surveillance systems • Prioritize early investigations, including household transmission studies, age- stratified sero-epidemiologic surveys including children, case-control studies, cluster investigations, and serologic studies in health care workers
Severity • Continue to share information on patient management, disease progression and factors leading to severe disease and favorable outcomes • Review and analyze the possible factors associated with the disease severity, which may include: o natural history studies to better understand disease progression in mild, severe and fatal patients o medical chart reviews about disease severity among vulnerable groups, (e.g. those with underlying conditions, older age groups, pregnant women and children) to develop appropriate standards of care o evaluation of factors leading to favorable outcomes (e.g. early identification and care)
Clinical care and infection prevention and control • Suspect patients who have not yet been tested should be isolated in single normal pressure rooms; cohorting of positive cases is acceptable • Physicians and all health care workers need to maintain a high level of clinical alert for COVID-19 • For affected countries, standardize training for clinical care and IPC and scale with the development of local (e.g. district level) experts • Ensure concurrent testing for other viral pathogens to support a negative COVID-19 test • Ensure maintenance of usual and essential services during the outbreak
38 • Ensure processes are in place for infection prevention among the most vulnerable, including the elderly • Ensure readiness to provide clinical care and to meet IPC needs, including: a. anticipated respiratory support requirements (e.g. pulse oximeters, oxygen, and invasive support where appropriate) b. national guidelines for clinical care and IPC, revised for COVID-19 c. nationally standardised trainings for disease understanding and PPE use for HCWs d. community engagement e. PPE and Medication stockpiles f. early identification protocols; triage, temperature screening, holding bays (triage, including pulse oximetry) g. treatment protocols including designated facilities, patient transportation h. enhanced uptake of influenza and pneumococcal vaccine according to national guidelines i. laboratory testing j. rapid response teams
Laboratory and virology • Continue to perform whole genome analysis of COVID-19 viruses isolated from different times and places, to evaluate virus evolution • Conduct pathogenesis studies using biopsy/post-mortem specimens of COVID-19 patients or infected animal models • Evaluate available nucleic acid PCR diagnostics • Rapidly develop and evaluate rapid/point-of-care diagnostics and serologic assays • Conduct further study to interpret the result of positive COVID-19 RNA detection in feces in patients recovering from COVID-19 • Enhance international cooperation, especially in terms of biosafety and information sharing for increased understanding of the COVID-19 virus and traceability of the virus • Consider monitoring proinflammatory cytokines via multiplex assays to predict the development of “cytokine storm”
Research and development • Additional effort should be made to find the animal source, including the natural reservoir and any intermediate amplification host, to prevent any new epidemic foci or resurgence of similar epidemics
39 • Efforts should be made to consistently evaluate existing and future diagnostic tests for detection of COVID-19 using a harmonized set of standards for laboratory tests and a biorepository that can be used for evaluating these tests • Consider the establishment of a centralized research program in China to oversee that portfolio and ensure the most promising research (vaccines, treatments, pathogenesis) are adequately supported and studied first; program staff dedicated to the clinical research would work at the clinical research site(s) to decrease the research workload of the clinicians at the site • Consider including one or more sites within China in the ongoing and future multi- center, international trials; Chinese investigators should be actively engaged in international trials • Continue to develop additional animal models, making every effort to ensure these mimic human infection and virus transmission as closely as possible • Conduct studies to determine which of the commonly used forms of PPE are most effective in controlling the spread of COVID-19

Abstract
Objective: To evaluate the spectrum of comorbidities and its impact on the clinical outcome in
patients with coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19).
Design: Retrospective case studies
Setting: 575 hospitals in 31 province/autonomous regions/provincial municipalities across China
Participants: 1,590 laboratory-confirmed hospitalized patients. Data were collected from November
21st, 2019 to January 31st, 2020.
Main outcomes and measures: Epidemiological and clinical variables (in particular, comorbidities)
were extracted from medical charts. The disease severity was categorized based on the American
Thoracic Society guidelines for community-acquired pneumonia. The primary endpoint was the
composite endpoints, which consisted of the admission to intensive care unit (ICU), or invasive
ventilation, or death. The risk of reaching to the composite endpoints was compared among patients
with COVID-19 according to the presence and number of comorbidities.
Results: Of the 1,590 cases, the mean age was 48.9 years. 686 patients (42.7%) were females. 647
(40.7%) patients were managed inside Hubei province, and 1,334 (83.9%) patients had a contact
history of Wuhan city. Severe cases accounted for 16.0% of the study population. 131 (8.2%)
patients reached to the composite endpoints. 399 (25.1%) reported having at least one comorbidity.
269 (16.9%), 59 (3.7%), 30 (1.9%), 130 (8.2%), 28 (1.8%), 24 (1.5%), 21 (1.3%), 18 (1.1%) and 3
(0.2%) patients reported having hypertension, cardiovascular diseases, cerebrovascular diseases,
diabetes, hepatitis B infections, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, chronic kidney diseases, medRxiv preprint doi: https://doi.org/10.1101/2020.02.25.20027664.this version posted February 27, 2020.

malignancy and immunodeficiency, respectively. 130 (8.2%) patients reported having two or more
comorbidities. Patients with two or more comorbidities had significantly escalated risks of reaching
to the composite endpoint compared with those who had a single comorbidity, and even more so as
compared with those without (all P<0.05). After adjusting for age and smoking status, patients with
COPD (HR 2.681, 95%CI 1.424-5.048), diabetes (HR 1.59, 95%CI 1.03-2.45), hypertension (HR
1.58, 95%CI 1.07-2.32) and malignancy (HR 3.50, 95%CI 1.60-7.64) were more likely to reach to
the composite endpoints than those without. As compared with patients without comorbidity, the HR
(95%CI) was 1.79 (95%CI 1.16-2.77) among patients with at least one comorbidity and 2.59 (95%CI
1.61-4.17) among patients with two or more comorbidities.
Conclusion: Comorbidities are present in around one fourth of patients with COVID-19 in China,
and predispose to poorer clinical outcomes.
FUNDING: Supported by National Health Commission, Department of Science and Technology of
Guangdong Province. The funder had no role in the conduct of the study.

Introduction
Since November 2019, the rapid outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), which arose
from severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection, has recently become
a public health emergency of international concern [1]. COVID-19 has contributed to an enormous
adverse impact globally. Hitherto, there have been 79,331 laboratory-confirmed cases and 2,595
deaths globally as of February 25th, 2020 [2].
The clinical manifestations of COVID-19 are, according to the latest reports [3-8], largely
heterogeneous. On admission, 20-51% of patients reported as having at least one comorbidity, with
diabetes (10-20%), hypertension (10-15%) and cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases (7-40%)
being most common [3,4,6]. Previous studies have demonstrated that the presence of any
comorbidity has been associated with a 3.4-fold increased risk of developing acute respiratory
distress syndrome in patients with H7N9 infection [9]. Similar with influenza [10-14], Severe Acute medRxiv preprint doi: https://doi.org/10.1101/2020.02.25.20027664.this version posted February 27, 2020.

Respiratory Syndrome coronavirus (SARS-CoV) [15] and Middle East Respiratory Syndrome
coronavirus (MERS-CoV) [16-24], COVID-19 more readily predisposed to respiratory failure and
death in susceptible patients [4]. Nonetheless, previous studies have been certain limitations in study
design including the relatively small sample sizes and single center observations. Studies that address
these limitations is needed to explore for the factors underlying the adverse impact of COVID-19.
Our objective was to compare the clinical characteristics and outcomes of patients with
COVID-19 by stratification according to the presence and category of comorbidity, thus unraveling
the subpopulations with poorer prognosis.
Methods
Data sources and data extraction
This was a retrospective cohort study that collected data from patients with COVID-19 throughout
China, under the coordination of the National Health Commission which mandated the reporting of
clinical information from individual designated hospitals which admitted patients with COVID-19.
After careful medical chart review, we compiled the clinical data of laboratory-confirmed
hospitalized cases from 575 hospitals between November 21st, 2019 and January 31st, 2020. The
diagnosis of COVID-19 was made based on the World Health Organization interim guidance [25].
Confirmed cases denoted the patients whose high-throughput sequencing or real-time
reverse-transcription polymerase-chain-reaction (RT-PCR) assay findings for nasal and pharyngeal
swab specimens were positive [3]. See Online Supplement for details. medRxiv preprint doi: https://doi.org/10.1101/2020.02.25.20027664.this version posted February 27, 2020. The copyright holder for this preprint (which was not certified by peer review) is the author/funder, who has granted medRxiv a license to display the preprint in perpetuity. It is made available under a CC-BY-NC-ND 4.0 International license .
The clinical data (including recent exposure history, clinical symptoms and signs, comorbidities,
and laboratory findings upon admission) were reviewed and extracted by experienced respiratory
clinicians, who subsequently entered the data into a computerized database for further
cross-checking. Manifestations on chest X-ray or computed tomography (CT) was summarized by
integrating the documentation or description in medical charts and, if available, a further review by
our medical staff. Major disagreement of the radiologic manifestations between the two reviewers
was resolved by consultation with another independent reviewer. Because disease severity reportedly
predicted poorer clinical outcomes of avian influenza [9], patients were classified as having severe or
non-severe COVID-19 based on the American Thoracic Society guidelines for community-acquired
pneumonia because of its global acceptance [26].
Comorbidities were determined based on patient’s self-report on admission. Comorbidities were
initially treated as a categorical variable (Yes vs. No), and subsequently classified based on the
number (Single vs. Multiple). Furthermore, comorbidities were sorted according to the organ
systems (i.e. respiratory, cardiovascular, endocrine). Comorbidities that were classified into the same
organ system (i.e. coronary heart disease, hypertension) would be merged into a single category.
The primary endpoint of our study was a composite measure which consisted of the admission
to intensive care unit (ICU), or invasive ventilation, or death. This composite measure was adopted
because all individual components were serious outcomes of H7N9 infections [9]. Secondary
endpoints mainly included the mortality rate, and the time from symptom onset to reaching to the
composite endpoints.

Statistical analyses were conducted with SPSS software version 23.0 (Chicago, IL, USA). No formal
sample size estimation was made because there has not been any published nationwide data on
COVID-19. Nonetheless, our sample size was deemed sufficient to power the statistical analysis
given its representativeness of the national patient population. Continuous variables were presented
as means and standard deviations or medians and interquartile ranges (IQR) as appropriate, and the
categorical variables were presented as counts and percentages. Independent t-test, Kruskal-Wallis
test and chi-square test were applied for the comparisons between the two groups as appropriate. Cox
proportional hazard regression models were applied to determine the potential risk factors associated
with the composite endpoints, with the hazards ratio (HR) and 95% confidence interval (95%CI)
being reported.
Patient and public involvement
No patients were directly involved in our study design, setting the research questions, the
interpretation of data, or asked to advise on writing up of the report.
Results
Demographic and clinical characteristics
The National Health Commission has issued 11,791 patients with laboratory-confirmed COVID-19
in China as of January 31st, 2020. At this time point for data cut-off, our database has included 1,590
cases from 575 hospitals in 31 province/autonomous regions/provincial municipalities (see Online
Supplement for details). Of these 1,590 cases, the mean age was 48.9 years. 686 patients (42.7%) medRxiv preprint doi: https://doi.org/10.1101/2020.02.25.20027664.this version posted February 27, 2020.

were females. 647 (40.7%) patients were managed inside Hubei province, and 1,334 (83.9%) patients
had a contact history of Wuhan city. The most common symptom was fever on or after
hospitalization (88.0%), followed by dry cough (70.2%). Fatigue (42.8%) and productive cough
(36.0%) were less common. At least one abnormal chest CT manifestation (including ground-glass
opacities, pulmonary infiltrates and interstitial disorders) was identified in more than 70% of patients.
Severe cases accounted for 16.0% of the study population. 131 (8.2%) patients reached to the
composite endpoints during the study (Table 1).
Presence of comorbidities and the clinical characteristics and outcomes of COVID-19
Of the 1,590 cases, 399 (25.1%) reported having at least one comorbidity. The most common
comorbidities encompassed hypertension (269 [16.9%]), diabetes (130 [8.2%]), and cardiovascular
diseases (59 [3.7%]). Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) was identified in 24 cases. At
least one comorbidity was seen more commonly in severe cases than in non-severe cases (32.8% vs.
10.3%). Patients with at least one comorbidity were older (mean: 60.8 vs. 44.8 years), were more
likely to have shortness of breath (41.4% vs. 17.8%), nausea or vomiting (10.4% vs. 4.3%), and
tended to have abnormal chest X-ray manifestations (29.2% vs. 15.1%) (Table 1).
Clinical characteristics and outcomes of COVID-19 stratified by the number of comorbidities
We have further identified 130 (8.2%) patients who reported having two or more comorbidities. Two
or more comorbidities were more commonly seen in severe cases than in non-severe cases (40.0% vs.
29.4%, P<0.001). Patients with two or more comorbidities were older (mean: 66.2 vs. 58.2 years),
were more likely to have shortness of breath (55.4% vs. 34.1%), nausea or vomiting (11.8% vs.
9.7%), unconsciousness (5.1% vs. 1.3%) and less abnormal chest X-ray (20.8% vs. 23.4%) compared medRxiv preprint doi: https://doi.org/10.1101/2020.02.25.20027664.this version posted February 27, 2020.

with patients who had single comorbidity (Table 2).
Clinical characteristics and outcomes of COVID-19 stratified by organ systems of comorbidities
A total of 269 (16.9%), 59 (3.7%), 30 (1.9%), 130 (8.2%), 28 (1.8%), 24 (1.5%), 21 (1.3%), 18
(1.1%) and 3 (0.2%) patients reported having hypertension, cardiovascular diseases, cerebrovascular
diseases, diabetes, hepatitis B infections, COPD, chronic kidney diseases, malignancy and
immunodeficiency, respectively. Severe cases were more likely to have hypertension (32.7% vs.
12.6%), cardiovascular diseases (33.9% vs. 15.3%), cerebrovascular diseases (50.0% vs. 15.3%),
diabetes (34.6% vs. 14.3%), hepatitis B infections (32.1% vs. 15.7%), COPD (62.5% vs. 15.3%),
chronic kidney diseases (38.1% vs. 15.7%) and malignancy (50.0% vs. 15.6%) compared with
non-severe cases. Furthermore, comorbidities were more common patients treated in Hubei province
as compared with those managed outside Hubei province (all P<0.05) as well as patients with an
exposure history of Wuhan as compared with those without (all P<0.05) (Table 3).
Prognostic analyses
The composite endpoint was documented in 77 (19.3%) of patients who had at least one comorbidity
as opposed to 54 (4.5%) patients without comorbidities (P<0.001). This figure was 37 cases (28.5%)
in patients who had two or more comorbidities. Significantly more patients with hypertension
(19.7% vs. 5.9%), cardiovascular diseases (22.0% vs. 7.7%), cerebrovascular diseases (33.3% vs.
7.8%), diabetes (23.8% vs. 6.8%), COPD (50.0% vs. 7.6%), chronic kidney diseases (28.6% vs.
8.0%) and malignancy (38.9% vs. 7.9%) reached to the composite endpoints compared with those
without (Table 3). medRxiv preprint doi: https://doi.org/10.1101/2020.02.25.20027664.this version posted February 27, 2020.

Patients with two or more comorbidities had significantly escalated risks of reaching to the
composite endpoint compared with those who had a single comorbidity, and even more so as
compared with those without (all P<0.05, Figure 1). After adjusting for age and smoking status,
patients with COPD (HR 2.68, 95%CI 1.42-5.05), diabetes (HR 1.59, 95%CI 1.03-2.45),
hypertension (HR 1.58, 95%CI 1.07-2.32) and malignancy (HR 3.50, 95%CI 1.60-7.64) were more
likely to reach to the composite endpoints than those without (Figure 2). As compared with patients
without comorbidity, the HR (95%CI) was 1.79 (95%CI 1.16-2.77) among patients with at least one
comorbidity and 2.59 (95%CI 1.61-4.17) among patients with two or more comorbidities (Figure 2).
Discussion
Our study is the first nationwide investigation that systematically evaluates the impact of
comorbidities on the clinical characteristics and prognosis in patients with COVID-19 in China.
Circulatory and endocrine comorbidities were common among patients with COVID-19. Patients
with at least one comorbidity, or more even so, were associated with poor clinical outcomes. These
findings have provided further objective evidence, with a large sample size and extensive coverage
of the geographic regions across China, to take into account baseline comorbid diseases in the
comprehensive risk assessment of prognosis among patients with COVID-19 on hospital admission.
Overall, our findings have echoed the recently published studies in terms of the commonness of
comorbidities in patients with COVID-19 [3-7]. Despite considerable variations in the proportion in
individual studies due to the limited sample size and the region where patients were managed,
circulatory diseases (including hypertension and coronary heart diseases) remained the most medRxiv preprint doi: https://doi.org/10.1101/2020.02.25.20027664.this version posted February 27, 2020.

common category of comorbidity [3-7]. Apart from circulatory diseases, endocrine diseases such as
diabetes were also common in patients with COVID-19. Notwithstanding the commonness of
circulatory and endocrine comorbidities, patients with COVID-19 rarely reported as having
comorbid respiratory diseases (particularly COPD). The reasons underlying this observation have
been scant, but could have arisen from the lack of awareness and the lack of spirometric testing in
community settings that collectively contributed to the underdiagnosis of respiratory diseases [27].
Consistent with recent reports [3-7], the percentage of patients with comorbid renal disease and
malignancy was relatively low. Our findings have therefore added to the existing literature the
spectrum of comorbidities in patients with COVID-19 based on the larger sample sizes and
representativeness of the whole patient population in China.
A number of existing literature reports have documented the escalated risks of poorer clinical
outcomes in patients with avian influenza [10-14], SARS-CoV [15] and MERS-CoV infections
[16-24]. The most common comorbidities associated with poorer prognosis included diabetes [21,24],
hypertension [24], respiratory diseases [15,24], cardiac diseases [15,24], pregnancy [12], renal
diseases [24] and malignancy [15]. Our findings suggested that, similar with other severe acute
respiratory outbreaks, comorbidities such as COPD, diabetes, hypertension and malignancy
predisposed to adverse clinical outcomes in patients with COVID-19. The strength of association
between different comorbidities and the prognosis, however, was less consistent when compared
with the literature reports [12,15,21,24]. For instance, the risk between cardiac diseases and poor
clinical outcomes of influenza, SARS-CoV or MERS-CoV infections was inconclusive [12,15,21,24].
Except for diabetes, no other comorbidities were identified to be the predictors of poor clinical
outcomes in patients with MERS-CoV infections [21]. Few studies, however, have explored the medRxiv preprint doi: https://doi.org/10.1101/2020.02.25.20027664.this version posted February 27, 2020.

mechanisms underlying these associations. Kulscar et al showed that MERS-CoV infections resulted
in prolonged airway inflammation, immune cell dysfunction and an altered expression profile of
inflammatory mediators [23]. A network-based analysis indicated that SARS-CoV infections led to
immune dysregulation that could help explain the escalated risk of cardiac diseases, bone diseases
and malignancy [28]. Therefore, immune dysregulation and prolonged inflammation might be the
key drivers of the poor clinical outcomes in patients with COVID-19 but await verification in more
mechanistic studies.
There has been a considerable overlap in the comorbidities which has been widely accepted. For
instance, diabetes [29] and COPD [30] frequently co-exist with hypertension or coronary heart
diseases. Therefore, patients with co-existing comorbidities are more likely to have poorer baseline
well-being. Importantly, we have verified the significantly escalated risk of poor prognosis in
patients with two or more comorbidities as compared with those who had no or only a single
comorbidity. Our findings implied that both the category and number of comorbidities should be
taken into account when predicting the prognosis in patients with COVID-19.
Our findings suggested that patients with comorbidities had greater disease severity compared
with those without. A greater number of comorbidities correlated with greater disease severity of
COVID-19. The public health implication of our study was that proper triage of patients should be
implemented in out-patient clinics or on hospital admission by carefully inquiring the medical
history because this will help identify patients who would be more likely to develop serious adverse
outcomes during the progression of COVID-19. A multidisciplinary team with specialists would be
needed to manage the comorbid conditions in a timely fashion. Moreover, patients with COIVD-19 medRxiv preprint doi: https://doi.org/10.1101/2020.02.25.20027664.this version posted February 27, 2020.

who had comorbidities should be isolated immediately upon confirmation of the diagnosis, which
would help provide with this susceptible population better personal medical protection.
The main limitation of our study was the self-report of comorbidities on admission.
Underreporting of comorbidities, which could have stemmed from the lack of awareness and/or the
lack of diagnostic testing, might contribute to the underestimation of the true strength of association
with the clinical prognosis. However, significant underreporting was unlikely because the spectrum
of our report was largely consistent with existing literature [3-7] and all patients were subject to a
thorough history taking after hospital admission. Moreover, the duration of follow-up was relatively
short and some patients remained in the hospital as of the time of writing. More studies that explore
the associations in a sufficiently long time frame are warranted. As with other observational studies,
our findings did not provide direct inference about the causation or reverse causation of
comorbidities and the poor clinical outcomes.
Conclusions
Comorbidities are present in around one fourth of patients with COVID-19 in China, and predispose
to poorer clinical outcomes. A thorough assessment of comorbidities may help establish risk
stratification of patients with COVID-19 upon hospital admission.

Figure legends
Figure 1. Comparison of the time-dependent risk of reaching to the composite endpoints
Figure 1-A, The time-dependent risk of reaching to the composite endpoints between patients with (orange curve) or without any comorbidity (dark blue curve);
Figure 1-B, The time-dependent risk of reaching to the composite endpoints between patients without any comorbidity (orange curve), patients with a single comorbidity (dark blue curve), and patients with two or more comorbidities (green curve).
Figure 2. Predictors of the composite endpoints in the proportional hazards model
Shown in the figure are the hazards ratio (HR) and the 95% confidence interval (95%CI) for the risk factors associated with the composite endpoints (admission to intensive care unit, invasive ventilation, or death). The comorbidities were classified according to the organ systems as well as the number.
The scale bar indicates the HR.
