R value

The R Value- range of reproduction rate has increased in UK

R value

The R-Value – the range for the reproduction rate of coronavirus has increased slightly across the UK after the lockdown was eased partially on Monday. According to the Government Office for Science.

R measures how many people on average one infected person transmits the disease too.

Last week the R-value in the UK was thought to be between 0.5 and 0.9 but the estimate is that it is now between 0.7 and 1.0.

The rise is thought to be driven by the virus spreading in care homes, and the data does not take into account the easing of lockdown measures.

Officials have always said the easing of lockdown measures depends on the R-value staying below one.

The range announced on Friday applies to data before the adjustments to lockdown restrictions that came into place earlier this week in England. The real R-value reflects the situation around three weeks prior.

Experts say R-value is not the only important measure of the epidemic, as it indicates whether the epidemic is getting bigger or smaller but not how large it is.

R equals 1 with 100, 000 people currently infected, it is a very different situation to R equals 1 with 1, 000 people currently infected.

Sir Patrick Vallance, the Government’s chief scientific adviser, said, “ R is one of the important things you can track to understand the epidemic. If you can estimate R, then you have part of a reliable tool for planning how to combat the virus. If the R is higher than one that means the disease is growing exponentially and will keep on spreading to more and more people.”
