T10 |
12-203 |
Sentence |
denotes |
An ongoing outbreak of a novel coronavirus (2019-nCoV) pneumonia hit a major city in China, Wuhan, December 2019 and subsequently reached other provinces/regions of China and other countries. |
T11 |
204-311 |
Sentence |
denotes |
We present estimates of the basic reproduction number, R0, of 2019-nCoV in the early phase of the outbreak. |
T12 |
313-320 |
Sentence |
denotes |
Methods |
T13 |
321-541 |
Sentence |
denotes |
Accounting for the impact of the variations in disease reporting rate, we modelled the epidemic curve of 2019-nCoV cases time series, in mainland China from January 10 to January 24, 2020, through the exponential growth. |
T14 |
542-742 |
Sentence |
denotes |
With the estimated intrinsic growth rate (γ), we estimated R0 by using the serial intervals (SI) of two other well-known coronavirus diseases, MERS and SARS, as approximations for the true unknown SI. |
T15 |
744-752 |
Sentence |
denotes |
Findings |
T16 |
753-816 |
Sentence |
denotes |
The early outbreak data largely follows the exponential growth. |
T17 |
817-871 |
Sentence |
denotes |
We estimated that the mean R0 ranges from 2.24 (95%CI: |
T18 |
872-898 |
Sentence |

1.96–2.55) to 3.58 (95%CI: |
T19 |
899-974 |
Sentence |
denotes |
2.89–4.39) associated with 8-fold to 2-fold increase in the reporting rate. |
T20 |
975-1059 |
Sentence |
denotes |
We demonstrated that changes in reporting rate substantially affect estimates of R0. |
T21 |
1061-1071 |
Sentence |
denotes |
Conclusion |
T22 |
1072-1175 |
Sentence |
denotes |
The mean estimate of R0 for the 2019-nCoV ranges from 2.24 to 3.58, and is significantly larger than 1. |
T23 |
1176-1244 |
Sentence |
denotes |
Our findings indicate the potential of 2019-nCoV to cause outbreaks. |
