*WHO, World Health Organization; ICU, intensive care unit; OB/GYN, obstetricians/gynecologists; SRRT, surveillance and rapid response; NA, not applicable: no child cases in 3 scenarios. 0 means that there was no shortfall in the resource item. Scenario 3 assumed human-to-human transmission resulting in a substantial number of cases. †Excludes data from Bangkok.
