Incubation Period and Reproduction Number for novel coronavirus (COVID-19) infections in India 2020-06-29 .txt text/plain 2561 162 53 We estimated incubation period and reproduction number of COVID 19 for India utilizing data reported by Ministry of Health and Family Welfare (MoHFW), Government of India (GOI) and data in public domain. Weibull distribution, the best fit for the reproduction number estimated pre lockdown reproduction number as 2.6 (95% CI=2.34, 2.86) and post lockdown reduced to 1.57 (95% CI=1.3 , 1.84) implying effectiveness of the epidemic response strategies. Hence this study was undertaken to address above issue and estimate incubation period and reproduction number of COVID-19 for India utilizing data reported by Ministry of Health and Family Welfare (MoHFW), Government of India (GOI) and the data available in public domain. This data driven paper to the best of our knowledge presents the estimates of incubation period and reproduction number of COVID-19 in India for the first time. . https://doi.org/10.1101/2020.06.27.20141424 doi: medRxiv preprint Figure 1 : Cumulative distribution function for best fit Normal distribution for Incubation period for India All rights reserved. ./cache/cord-335115-g9h8y2on.txt ./txt/cord-335115-g9h8y2on.txt
