Henry County - April 8, 2021

Effective Reproduction Number (Rt)

After a gradual rise in early March, Rt appears to have gradually returned to a level comfortably below 1.0.

Projected Incidence

Incidence appears most likely to remain at similar levels, but there is some uncertainty given sporadic patterns of reported cases in the county and small population size.  Continued masking and social distancing will be critical to preventing increases.

Asymptomatic to Symptomatic Ratio

The ratio of asymptomatic to symptomatic cases appears to remain low.  A low ratio of asymptomatic to symptomatic cases facilitates mitigation efforts since symptomatic individuals usually isolate.
