†Households are described by their subdistrict, cluster, and house numbers, such that the first 2 letters denote subdistrict, the next 2-digit number denotes cluster, and an H followed by a 3-digit number denotes house number.
‡House or individual involvement with the transmission cluster also confirmed by BEAST analyses (38).
