What are the Key Epidemiological Indicators for COVID-19?
Several key indicators are used to assess the status of the COVID-19 pandemic:
- Incidence Rate: The number of new cases per population in a specific time period. - Prevalence: The total number of cases, both new and existing, in a population at a given time. - Reproduction Number (R0): The average number of people one infected person will pass the virus to. - Case Fatality Rate (CFR): The proportion of deaths among confirmed cases. - Test Positivity Rate: The percentage of positive results out of the total tests conducted.
