Figure 1.
Number of additional infections in households of 4 members with a single index case, when the household secondary attack rate (HSAR) is 0.29 (based on Lewis et al [1]) or 0.12 (based on Ng et al [3]). Probabilities are from a chain-binomial model [7]. The average number of secondary cases in the HSAR = 0.29 case is 1.3; for HSAR = 0.12, it is 0.4.
