Topic:

  • This study obtained robust estimates of epidemiological parameters from 1,155 cases in China, Japan, Singapore, South Korea, Vietnam, Germany, and Malaysia.
  • Findings support current quarantine practice, but also suggest that longer monitoring periods might be needed for selected groups due to consistent evidence of pre-symptomatic transmission.
