T26 0-30 Sentence denotes Incubation period distribution
T27 31-173 Sentence denotes Using the duration of stay in Wuhan and the symptom onset date, we obtained a range of possible values for the incubation period of each case.
T28 174-343 Sentence denotes We fitted three parametric forms for the incubation period distribution to these ranges: the Weibull distribution, the gamma distribution and the lognormal distribution.
T29 344-449 Sentence denotes We used a Bayesian approach to fitting that allows for the use of prior knowledge to inform the analysis.
T30 450-644 Sentence denotes We specified strictly positive flat prior probability distributions for the parameter values of the three distributions (Supplementary Material S2), which ensured our estimates are conservative.
T31 645-750 Sentence denotes Because of the sufficient number of observations, the impact of the priors on the outcome was negligible.
T32 751-869 Sentence denotes We used a uniform prior probability distribution over the exposure interval for the moment of infection for each case.
T33 870-1029 Sentence denotes We sampled from the posterior distribution using the rstan package [9] in R software version 3.6.0 (R Foundation, Vienna, Austria) (Supplementary Material S3).
T34 1030-1179 Sentence denotes Figure 1 shows the exposure to reporting timeline for each case, where the cases without a maximum incubation period lack an unexposed (grey) period.
T35 1180-1343 Sentence denotes However, the estimated infection times for these cases are close to the end of the exposure window, informed by the cases that do have a maximum incubation period.
T36 1344-1534 Sentence denotes Figure 1 Exposure to reporting timeline for confirmed 2019 novel coronavirus (2019-nCoV) cases with travel history from Wuhan, sorted by symptom onset date, data 20–28 January 2020 (n = 88)
T37 1535-1706 Sentence denotes The analysis yields the probability of being infected (dark pink), i.e. the cumulative density function of the estimated infection moments, using the Weibull distribution.
T38 1707-1776 Sentence denotes The Weibull distribution provided the best fit to the data (Table 1).
T39 1777-1861 Sentence denotes The mean incubation period was estimated to be 6.4 days (95% credible interval (CI):
T40 1862-1871 Sentence denotes 5.6–7.7).
T41 1872-1975 Sentence denotes The incubation period ranges from 2.1 to 11.1 days (2.5th to 97.5th percentile) (Table 2 and Figure 2).
T42 1976-2111 Sentence denotes The results using the gamma distribution provide a slightly poorer description of the data, but a similar range: from 2.4 to 12.5 days.
T43 2112-2331 Sentence denotes Although the lognormal distribution provides the poorest fit to the data, the incubation period ranging from 2.4 to 15.5 days (2.5th to 97.5th percentile) may be relevant for a conservative choice of quarantine periods.
T44 2332-2543 Sentence denotes Table 1 Estimated incubation period for travellers infected with 2019 novel coronavirus (2019-nCoV) in Wuhan, China, for different parametric forms of the incubation period distribution, data 20–28 January 2020

T52 2842-2861 Sentence denotes a Posterior median.
T53 2862-3002 Sentence denotes b LOO IC indicates the goodness-of-fit, where lower values indicate a better fit and differences larger than two are statistically relevant.
