Question

Given an R_{0} of 2.5 for a pathogen transmitted predominantly by short-range aerosols, calculate the effective reproductive number (R_{e}) after implementing an intervention estimated to reduce transmission probability by 60%.

Accepted Answer

R_{e }= 1.0

Answer

R_{e }= 2.5

Answer

R_{e} = 0.4

Answer

R_{e} = 3.5
