中国报告了一场持续的2019新型冠状病毒相关肺炎疫情。目前还不清楚这种病毒在潜伏期是否具有传染性，尽管其他地方也有人际传播的报道。我们报告了上海一个家族聚集性的4例患者的流行病学特征，其中包括一名88岁的行动不便的男性，他只接触过后来出现症状的无症状家庭成员。流行病学证据显示，2019年新型冠状病毒可能在潜伏期传播。
An ongoing outbreak of pneumonia associated with 2019 novel coronavirus was reported in China. It is unclear whether the virus is infective exists during the incubation period, although person-to-person transmission has been reported elsewhere. We report the epidemiological features of a familial cluster of 4 patients in Shanghai, including an 88-year-old man with limited mobility who was exposed only to asymptomatic family members whose symptoms developed later. The epidemiological evidence has shown possible transmission of 2019 novel coronavirus during the incubation period.
