Using ESC, NUH clinicians were able to identify and isolate 13 patients who did not fit the WHO SARS criteria but were eventually confirmed to have SARS, who would have otherwise been potential spreaders (the number of positive and negative cases for SARS are presented in Supplementary Table 1.) 12 Clinicians responded to the COVID-19 crisis similarly, implementing ESC on 7 th February 2020, which was approximately three weeks after the first imported case. At an of 2.5 and incubation period (IP) of 4 days, approximate to estimates by Wu and colleagues 29 for Wuhan, an estimated 240 (95% CI: 200-290) cases would be prevented over 150 days through ESC by isolating patients presenting fever or respiratory symptoms such as cough with their travel and exposure profile not considered (Table 2) .	./cache/cord-290206-fmy4zrim.txt	./txt/cord-290206-fmy4zrim.txt
