  Evaluation Summary:

  This paper extends a previous analytical method that the authors developed to evaluate the time to infectiousness of COVID-19, in order to evaluate differences in the generation interval across different time periods during the course of the pandemic in England in 2020. This study will be of interest to policymakers and modellers. While the results appear technically robust for the data analysed, its usefulness is limited by difficulty in extending the results to other contexts.

  (This preprint has been reviewed by eLife. We include the public reviews from the reviewers here; the authors also receive private feedback with suggested changes to the manuscript. Reviewer #1 and Reviewer #2 agreed to share their names with the authors.)
