Background information
This is analysis is based on :
- 20 whole genomes sampled from within Weifang
- 50 whole genomes sampled from outside of Weifang
- Samples within Weifang were collected between 2020-01-24 and 2020-02-10
How many are infected in Weifang?
Figure 1: Cumulative estimated infections through time. Points represent reported cases in Weifang. The dashed line indicates the date of last sample in Weifang in this analysis.
-
Estimated cumulative infections at last sample (2020-02-10): 223 [38-827] median [95%CI]
-
Cumulative confirmed infections reported at 2020-02-10: 38
Figure 2: Daily estimated infections through time. Points represent reported cases in Weifang. The dashed line indicates the date of last sample in Weifang in this analysis.
Figure 3: Reproduction number through time. The dashed line indicates the date of last sample in Weifang in this analysis.
Reproduction number at last sample (2020-02-10): 0.0911 [0.0129-0.532] median [95% CrI]
How quickly has the epidemic in Weifang grown?
Quantile | Reproduction number | Growth rate (per day) | Doubling time (days) |
---|---|---|---|
50% | 3.12 | 0.194 | 3.57 |
2.5% | 1.81 | 0.0871 | 2.3 |
97.5% | 4.79 | 0.301 | 7.96 |

How has SARS-CoV 2 evolved in Weifang?
Figure 4: Time scaled phylogeny co-estimated with epidemiological parameters. The colour of the tips corresponds to location sampling; red tips were sampled from within Weifang, blue tips from outside.
Molecular clock rate of evolution: 0.0012 [0.000874-0.00163] median [95% CrI]
