Does the Data Tell the True Story? A Modelling Study of Early COVID-19 Pandemic Suppression and Mitigation Strategies in Ghana

2021-05-05

Abstract excerpt

This paper uses publicly available data and various statistical models to estimate the basic reproduction number ( R 0 ) and other disease parameters for the early COVID-19 pandemic outbreak in Ghana. We also test the effectiveness of government imposition of public health measures to reduce the risk of transmission and impact of the pandemic, especially in the early phase. R 0 is estimated from the statistical mo...
