Ashtabula County - April 22, 2021

Effective Reproduction Number (Rt)

Rt appears to have risen steadily over the last month to a level of near 1.0.

 

Projected Incidence

Case numbers are expected to increase slightly in the coming 2 weeks.  Continued masking and social distancing will be critical to preventing large increases.

 

 

Asymptomatic to Symptomatic Ratio

The ratio of asymptomatic to symptomatic cases appears to have risen steadily over the past month to moderately elevated levels.  A low ratio of asymptomatic to symptomatic cases facilitates mitigation efforts since symptomatic individuals usually isolate.
