Estimation of the incubation period of SARS-CoV-2 in Vietnam 2020-05-15 .txt text/plain 2468 158 52 Methods: Only confirmed COVID-19 cases who are Vietnamese and locally infected with available data on date of symptom onset and clearly defined window of possible SARS-CoV-2 exposure were included. To assure the reliability of analysis, we selected only confirmed COVID-19 cases who are Vietnamese and locally infected with available data on date of symptom onset (including fever, cough, and shortness of breath) and clearly defined window of possible SARS-CoV-2 exposure. We estimated the incubation period of Vietnamese confirmed COVID-19 cases from public reported data with three parametric models, including Weibull, Gamma and Lognornal . The estimated mean of incubation period for 19 Vietnamese confirmed COVID-19 cases using Weibull distribution model is higher than that of SARS in Hong Kong and Beijing [14] and in MERS [15, 16] . Our study has several strengths, including being the first effort to estimate SAR-CoV-2 incubation period using data from Vietnamese locally transmitted cases. ./cache/cord-307436-qcdlcxyb.txt ./txt/cord-307436-qcdlcxyb.txt
