Probability densities for incubation period distribution during different SARS-CoV-2 variant-dominant periods in study of SARS-CoV-2 incubation period during the Omicron BA.5–dominant period in Japan. A–C) Histograms show probability densities for estimated gamma distribution of virus incubation periods for patients during the Omicron BA.5–dominant period (A), Omicron BA.1–dominant period (B), and Delta-dominant period (C). D) Comparison of probability densities for estimated gamma distribution of virus incubation periods among patients during the BA.5-dominant period (solid line), BA.1–dominant period (short-dashed line), and Delta-dominant period (long-dashed line).
