There are multiple errors in the manuscript.

The authors inadvertently omit Dr. Caitlin Pepperell in their Acknowledgements section.

The correct Acknowledgements section should read: We thank Caitlin Pepperell and the McMaster aDNA Centre for comments on early versions of this work and for valuable insights into possible causes of the rash in the child mummy, Filip Braet for advice on interpretation of electron microscopy results, Simon Ho for advice on the molecular clock analysis, and Jemma Geoghegan for assistance with Fig 1. We also acknowledge the Sydney Informatics Hub and the University of Sydney HPC cluster Artemis for providing the HPC resources that contributed to the research results reported within this paper.

S1 Fig is omitted from the list of Supporting Information. As a result of this error, S2, S3, S4, S5, S6, S7, S8 and S9 Figs are incorrect. Please see the correct Supporting Figures here.

The Supporting information legends as they appear are correct:
