Furthermore, some cases start to transmit this virus before the symptom onset. This is very different from the transmission patterns of SARS (Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome), for which transmission rarely occurred until after the 4-5 days after symptom onset 8 . When a virus has infectiousness before symptom onset, control of outbreaks using contact tracing and isolation is more challenging 9 .
