Black, travel duration <3 h; white, 3–5.9 h; red, 6–14.9 h; blue, >15 h. Mean time from arrival to illness onset was 3.5 days (95% confidence interval [CI] 1.9–5.2), 1.7 days (95% CI 0.9–2.4), 1.0 days (95% CI 0.4–1.6), and 0.8 days (95% CI 0.0–1.5), respectively. The percentage of patients with symptom onset before arrival was 0%, 14%, 29%, and 33%, respectively.
