Lucas County - April 8, 2021

Effective Reproduction Number (Rt)

Over the past week, Rt has risen slightly above the 1.0 mark.

Projected Incidence

Daily case counts appear most likely to decrease in the coming 2 weeks.  Continued masking and social distancing will be critical to preventing increases.

Asymptomatic to Symptomatic Ratio

The ratio of asymptomatic to symptomatic cases has been on a gradual rise since mid-March.  A low ratio of asymptomatic to symptomatic cases facilitates mitigation efforts since symptomatic individuals usually isolate.
