6 For the E gene RT-PCR, 200ul of UTM were extracted on the MagMAX Express-96 or Kingfisher Flex (ABI) using the MagMAX-96 Viral RNA Isolation Kit (ThermoFisher) or the PurePrep Pathogen Kit (MolGen) according to manufacturer’s instructions, and eluted into a volume of 110ul.	MolGen suggested: (MolGen, RRID:SCR_005700)
Statistical analysis was performed using Pearson Chi-squared for categorical variables and t-test for continuous variables using STATA (version 14.1).	STATA suggested: (Stata, RRID:SCR_012763)
