| T112 |
0-225 |
Sentence |
denotes |
In our analysis of early cases, we observed transmission in two broad contexts: sporadic cases among travellers from China (14 cases) and cases who acquired infection due to subsequent local transmission in Europe (21 cases). |
| T113 |
226-387 |
Sentence |
denotes |
Our analysis shows that the time from symptom onset to hospitalisation/case isolation was about 3 days longer for locally acquired cases than for imported cases. |
| T114 |
388-667 |
Sentence |
denotes |
People returning from affected areas are likely to have a low threshold to seek care and be tested when symptomatic, however delays in identifying the index cases of the two clusters in France and Germany meant that locally acquired cases took longer to be detected and isolated. |
| T115 |
668-940 |
Sentence |
denotes |
Once the exposure is determined and contacts identified and quarantined (171 contacts in France and 200 in Germany for the clusters in Haute-Savoie and Bavaria, respectively), further cases are likely to be rapidly detected and isolated when they develop symptoms [15,20]. |
| T116 |
941-1124 |
Sentence |
denotes |
In the German cluster, for example, the first three cases detected locally were hospitalised in a mean of 5.7 days, whereas the following six were hospitalised after a mean of 2 days. |
| T117 |
1125-1375 |
Sentence |
denotes |
Locally acquired cases require significant resources for contact tracing and quarantine, and countries should be prepared to allocate considerable public health resources during the containment phase, should local clusters emerge in their population. |
| T118 |
1376-1676 |
Sentence |
denotes |
In addition, prompt sharing of information on cases and contacts through international notification systems such as the International Health Regulations (IHR) mechanism and the European Commission’s European Early Warning and Response System is essential to contain international spread of infection. |
