The incubation period of 2019-nCoV infections among travellers from Wuhan, China 2020-01-28 .txt text/plain 1957 120 56 Using the travel history and symptom onset of 88 confirmed cases that were detected outside Wuhan, we estimate the mean incubation period to be 6.4 (5.6 7.7, 95% CI) days, ranging from 2.1 to 11.1 days (2.5th to 97.5th percentile). Early January 2020, a novel coronavirus 2019-nCoV, has been identified as the infectious agent that causes an outbreak of viral pneumonia in Wuhan, China, where the first cases had their symptom onset in December 2019 [1] . Here we present the distribution of incubation periods estimated for travellers from Wuhan with confirmed 2019-nCoV infection, using their reported travel histories and symptom onset dates. https://doi.org/10.1101/2020.01.27.20018986 doi: medRxiv preprint 5 Fig. 1 Time line for each case with travel history from Wuhan, sorted by symptom onset date. We characterized the distribution of incubation periods for Chinese travellers infected with 2019-nCoV in Wuhan, who were reported as cases between 20 and 28 January 2020. ./cache/cord-315525-u8goc7io.txt ./txt/cord-315525-u8goc7io.txt
