Methods We implemented a series of comprehensive preventive and control measures. We analyzed the incubation period and generation time by using the maximum likelihood method, assessed the symptom period and hospitalization duration using the Kaplan-Meier method, and estimated the basic reproductive number and dormitory transmission rate by using established methods. Results The epidemic lasted for 30 days, and 375 individuals were affected. Overall, 109 patients were hospitalized, and 266 individuals were isolated and treated. The median incubation period was 5.2 days (95% confidence interval [CI] 5.0 to 5.4 days). The median generation time was 7.3 days (95% CI 7.1 to 7.6 days). The median symptom period was 6 days (95% CI 6 to 7 days). The median hospitalization duration was 9 days (95% CI 9 to 11 days). The basic reproductive number was 5.1 (95% CI 4.6 to 5.6), and the dormitory transmission rate was 0.15 (95% CI 0.12 to 0.18). Conclusion Patients in the early stage of the epidemic were treated as having a regular cold and were not isolated; therefore, the virus continued to be transmitted to other susceptible individuals.This Letter reports the behavior of the slow-light resonances of a strong apodized fiber Bragg grating (FBG) in which the intrinsic loss is compensated for by a small internal gain. The 6.5-mm FBG, written with a femtosecond laser in an Er-doped single-mode fiber, was pumped at ∼1475nm just below the lasing threshold to offset most of its intrinsic loss, thereby narrowing its resonances.
