Early Transmission Dynamics in Wuhan, China, of Novel Coronavirus–Infected Pneumonia

The authors provide an epidemiologic analysis of the first 425 confirmed cases of infection with the novel coronavirus in Wuhan, China. This analysis provides estimates of the epidemic doubling time and the basic reproductive number and shows clear evidence of sustained human-to-human transmission.
