Before revision:  As an example, a county with 2.8 million population with initial 200  infectious cases is considered , where about 0.15\% people died during the pandemic. Compared with a constant containment strategy, adaptive containment strategies shorten the outbreak length and executing the strictest measures earlier will cause less mortality.
After revision:  As an example, a county with 2.8 million population with initial 200 infectious cases is considered assuming a 4\% mortality rate. We found that compared with a constant containment strategy, adaptive containment strategies shorten the outbreak length and executing the strictest measures earlier will cause less mortality.
