Mean Time from Onset to Reporting of COVID-19 in Shenzhen, China: Symptom-based Surveillance vs. Contact-based Surveillance

  • Mean time for a case to be detected through symptom-based surveillance was estimated to be 5.5 days (95% CI: 5.0-5.9). Mean time for a case to be detected through contact-based surveillance was estimated to be 3.2 days (95% CI: 2.7-3.8).
  • Contact-based surveillance was associated with a 2.3 day (95% CI: 1.5-3.0) decrease in reporting time.
