New Delhi: India’s Covid-19 effective reproduction number or R an indicator of how fast the infection spreads in a population has crossed 1, increasing from 0.93 last week to 1.02 this week.
This is concerning because any epidemic will continue growing as long as the R remains above 1.
At the beginning of the pandemic, India’s R for Covid-19 was 1.7, which increased to as high as 1.83 before it fell after the lockdown.
Around 24 September, the country’s R fell below 1 for the first time, dropping to 0.93. However, around 27 November the R had briefly risen to more than 1.
Since then R had been around 0.92 for several weeks. But this week, the value crossed 1 once again.
