Fulton County - May 5, 2021

Effective Reproduction Number (Rt)

After remaining near 1.0 through mid-April, estimated Rt has declined to levels substantially less than 1.0.

 

Projected Incidence

Daily case counts are expected to decline slightly in the coming 2 weeks, although considerable uncertainty exists given the small population size of the county.  Continued masking and social distancing will be critical to preventing increases.

 

Asymptomatic to Symptomatic Ratio

After remaining slightly elevated through mid-April, the ratio of asymptomatic to symptomatic cases appears to have returned to a normal level in the past 2 weeks.  A low ratio of asymptomatic to symptomatic cases facilitates mitigation efforts since symptomatic individuals usually isolate.
