Sumario:We report a familial cluster of 2019 novel coronavirus disease (COVID-19) to assess its potential transmission during the incubation period.

Five family members had close contact with this first patient during his incubation period, with four of them confirmed positive for severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection in the subsequent sampling tests.
