Abstract

There is an error in Table 3. The mean for the intrinsic incubation period should be 3.0 (95% CrI: 2.4–4.1) days not 3.0 (95% CrI: 2.2–3.8) days. The standard deviation for the intrinsic incubation period should be 0.3 (95% CrI: 0.0–2.1) days not 1.2 (95% CrI: 1.0–1.7) days. Please see the correct Table 3 below.There is an error on page 6 of S1 Text. The text says, “We estimated a mean incubation period μIP of 3.0 (95% CrI: 2.2–3.8) days and a standard deviation σIP of 1.2 (95% CrI: 1.0–1.7) days.” It should say, “We estimated a mean incubation period μIP of 3.0 (95% CrI: 2.4–4.1) days and a standard deviation σIP of 0.3 (95% CrI: 0.0–2.1) days.” Please view the correct S1 Text below.
