Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 Transmission Potential, Iran, 2020

Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 Transmission Potential, Iran, 2020

To determine the transmission potential of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 in Iran in 2020, we estimated the reproduction number as 4.4 (95% CI 3.9–4.9) by using a generalized growth model and 3.5 (95% CI 1.3–8.1) by using epidemic doubling time. The reproduction number decreased to...
