2019-20 Wuhan coronavirus outbreak: Intense surveillance is vital for preventing sustained transmission in new locations

R. N. Thompson

The paper estimates the probability of sustained human-to-human transmission of 2019-nCoV from imported cases and shows that intense surveillance can significantly reduce this risk.
