    1<p>There were a total of 185 individuals in 81 shifts that did not make a contact while under surveillance. They are not included in these calculations.</p>2<p>The median and quartiles of each shift were calculated and the median of these values are reported. The median of <i>all types</i> will not be the sum of the 3 subtype medians.</p>3<p>All comparisons across groups types were significant by Friedman's test at p<0.0001, except for contact pairs/shift, which was significant at p = 0.004. Tukey's post hoc procedure was used to determine which groups were different and the ordering.</p>4<p>A contact event is defined as any two people being within 1 meter of each other; multiple discontinuous instances between the same two individuals are here counted as multiple contacts.</p>5<p>One contact pair is defined as any two people who have at least one instance of being within 1 meter of each other ( =  an edge or link); multiple discontinuous instances are here counted as a single contact.</p>6<p>Total hours/shift is the sum of all instances of contact. NB: shift duration ranged from 5 to 12 hours.</p
