Practical considerations for measuring the effective reproductive number,<i>R<sub>t</sub></i>

2020-06-21

Abstract excerpt

Estimation of the effective reproductive number, R t , is important for detecting changes in disease transmission over time. During the COVID-19 pandemic, policymakers and public health officials are using R t to assess the effectiveness of interventions and to inform policy. However, estimation of R t from available data presents several challenges, with critical implications for the interpretation of the course...
