First Few X (FFX) Cases and Contact Investigation Protocol for 2019-Novel Coronavirus (2019-nCoV) Infection, Version 2
Source: World Health Organization (WHO)Date Published: 2/10/2020Format: PDFAnnotation: This 65-page protocol, updated on February 2, 2020, has been designed to investigate the First Few X (FFX) cases of 2019 novel coronavirus (2019-nCoV) and their close contacts. It is envisioned that the FFX 2019-nCoV investigation will be conducted across several countries or sites with geographical and demographic diversity. Using a standardized protocol such as the protocol provided here, epidemiological exposure data and biological samples can be systematically collected and shared rapidly in a format that can be easily aggregated, tabulated, and analyzed across many different settings globally for timely estimates of 2019-nCoV infection severity and transmissibility, as well as to inform public health responses and policy decisions.
