    Snippet: Incubation period was defined as the time interval between exposure and onset of disease symptoms. To obtain an accurate estimate, only the cases with an exposure period spanning 3 days or less were included in the analysis. For those exposed for three continuous days and those exposed on two dates with one day apart (i.e., exposed on the first and third days), the second day was uniformly used as the exposure date in estimation.

    Document: Incubation period was defined as the time interval between exposure and onset of disease symptoms. To obtain an accurate estimate, only the cases with an exposure period spanning 3 days or less were included in the analysis. For those exposed for three continuous days and those exposed on two dates with one day apart (i.e., exposed on the first and third days), the second day was uniformly used as the exposure date in estimation. For those exposed for two continuous days, the first day was uniformly used as the exposure date in estimation. This approach ensured the upper limit of error in the estimated incubation period be smaller than 1 day for the cases with a 2-day or 3-day exposure, regardless of when exactly (i.e., first, second, or third day) the transmission actually occurred. In reality, the overall error was bound to be much smaller than 1 day, as most included cases were exposed for only 1 day which would dilute the overall error.
