Hence, a substantial proportion of transmission appears to occur before symptom onset, which is an important point to consider when planning intervention strategies. We also estimated R 0 , solely to illustrate the bias that occurs when using the serial interval as a proxy for the generation interval [7] . Whereas the impact was limited for our analyses, estimates based on the generation interval are larger and should be preferred to inform intervention policies. Indeed, as expected, the reproduction number was underestimated when using the serial interval distribution which is more variable than the generation interval distribution.
