Theoretical maximum incubation (exposure), infectious period, and symptomatic period until time of resolution of illness in passengers on flight from Sydney to Perth, Australia, on March 19, 2020, with primary and secondary SARS-CoV-2 cases, by place of journey origin. Passenger identification numbers and SARS-CoV-2 lineage determined by whole-genome sequencing (A.2, B.1, not determined) indicated to right of bars. NSW, New South Wales, Australia; 1I, primary case, infectious; 1N, primary case, noninfectious; 2F, secondary case, flight associated; 2P, secondary case, possibly flight associated.
