Keeping Rt below 1 is equivalent to reducing the epidemic, according to the Covid Observatory.
The Rt index for coronavirus is 0.72 according to the Covid Observatory report. As the report characteristically states: “There is a stabilization of the average cases, but an increase in deaths and hospitalization, with a slight decrease in the Rt index to 0.72”.
In addition, the report emphasizes that Rt is estimated at 0.72, slightly lower than the previous report. “The high intervals of trust are due to the relatively small, until recently, number of daily cases and the very high percentage variability that lead to even small fluctuations in the absolute number. Epidemiologically, a retention (decrease) of the Rt marker below 1 is tantamount to epidemic limitation, as not every new case can transmit the virus to more than one contact. Therefore, recent case outbreaks in some clusters indicate that the course of the epidemic is significantly affected by the increase in the percentage of contacts. As a result, the large number of daily cases and the maintenance of Rt close to the unit, continue to require increased vigilance “.
