Wayne County - February 24, 2021

Effective Reproduction Number (Rt)
 

The most recent data suggests an Rt above 1.0 in early January, with an Rt around one in the most recent weeks.

 

Projected Incidence


Daily incidence appears most likely to continue to decline slightly in the coming two weeks, though considerable uncertainty exists.  Continued masking and social distancing will be critical to maintaining downward momentum in new cases

 

Asymptomatic to Symptomatic Ratio


The ratio of asymptomatic to symptomatic cases appears to have remained largely stable at relatively low levels over the last 6 weeks.  A low ratio of asymptomatic to symptomatic cases facilitates mitigation efforts since symptomatic individuals usually isolate.
