    Snippet: For the incubation period we use our estimates from Table 1 (mean 4.84, standard deviation 2.79), which are anyway similar to those estimated by others. However, information about any form of pre-symptomatic transmission is hard to obtain but crucial for R 0 estimates [34] [35] [36] [37] . Furthermore, there is also limited information concerning how infectivity changes over time. Therefore, Table S1 reports the estimates we obtain assuming the i.....
    Document: For the incubation period we use our estimates from Table 1 (mean 4.84, standard deviation 2.79), which are anyway similar to those estimated by others. However, information about any form of pre-symptomatic transmission is hard to obtain but crucial for R 0 estimates [34] [35] [36] [37] . Furthermore, there is also limited information concerning how infectivity changes over time. Therefore, Table S1 reports the estimates we obtain assuming the infectious period starts at the onset of symptoms, one, two or three days earlier, and assuming a Gamma-shaped infectivity with mean 2 or 3 days. In both cases, the standard deviation is assumed to be 1.5 and the infectivity is truncated after 7 days (see Figure S4 ).
