Risk for superspreading events for coronavirus disease during the Delta variant of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 predominance in South Korea. Joint estimates of k and R0 of coronavirus disease were calculated by using 5,778 pairs (2,169 for period 1 and 3,609 for period 2). The red and blue ovals indicate the bivariate 95% credible region of the estimated k and R0 for period 1 and period 2. The posterior marginal distributions were plotted in red and blue shaded regions. Period 1, July 11, 2021–July 24, 2021; period 2, July 25, 2021–August 15, 2021. k, overdispersion parameter; R0, basic reproduction number.
