Title: Estimating the generation interval for COVID-19 based on symptom onset data
  • Document date: 2020_3_8
  • ID: cq6mivr9_41
    Snippet: In our main (i.e., baseline) analyses, missing serial intervals were only allowed to be positive, i.e., the symptom onset time of the infector has to occur before that of the infectee. However, given that pre-symptomatic transmission is possible, this can be deemed an unrealistic assumption. Therefore, we assess the impact of allowing for negative serial intervals on our estimates of the generation interval distribution......
