TLDR
The serial interval of COVID-19 is close to or shorter than its median incubation period, indicating that a substantial proportion of secondary transmission may occur prior to illness onset and that calculations made using the SARS serial interval may introduce bias.

Estimating data-driven coronavirus disease 2019 mitigation strategies for safe university reopening

TL;DR: An agent-based model to simulate the spread of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 in university settings is developed and it is estimated that at least 80% of the university population immunized through natural infection or vaccination is needed for safe university reopening with relaxed non-pharmaceutical interventions (NPIs).

Epidemiology and Genetic Analysis of SARS-CoV-2 in Myanmar during the Community Outbreaks in 2020

TL;DR: Analyzing the situation of the first two epidemic waves in Myanmar using the publicly available daily situation of COVID-19 and whole-genome sequencing data of SARS-CoV-2 showed that the first wave was caused by GISAID clade O or PANGOLIN lineage B.1.6 and the second wave was changed to clade GH or lineage A.

Patient delay in a coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) outbreak in Tianjin, China from January to February 2020.

TL;DR: Wang et al. as mentioned in this paper evaluated the extent of patient delay, explore its factors, and investigate the effects of patient interval on epidemic situation, finding that the longer the patient intervals of lagging days, the greater the number of new-onset and confirmed cases in 3-4 and 5-7 days after the first day symptoms, respectively.

Transmission Dynamics and Control of Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome

TL;DR: It is estimated that a single infectious case of SARS will infect about three secondary cases in a population that has not yet instituted control measures, and public-health efforts to reduce transmission are expected to have a substantial impact on reducing the size of the epidemic.

Incubation period and other epidemiological characteristics of 2019 novel coronavirus infections with right truncation: A statistical analysis of publicly available case data

TL;DR: The incubation period falls within the range of 2–14 days with 95% confidence and has a mean of around 5 days when approximated using the best-fit lognormal distribution and it is recommended that the length of quarantine should be at least 14 days.
