Continent Summary Reproduction Number (R) Based on Reported Deaths

Identifying changes in the reproduction number, rate of spread, and doubling time during the course of the COVID-19 outbreak whilst accounting for potential biases due to delays in case reporting both nationally and subnationally. These results are impacted by changes in testing effort, increases and decreases in testing effort will increase and decrease reproduction number estimates respectively.

本数据集用于分析新冠疫情暴发期间新冠病毒再生数（reproduction number）、传播速率与倍增时间的动态变化，同时需考量全国及次国家级层面病例报告延迟所引发的潜在偏倚。该数据集的分析结果受检测力度变化的影响：检测力度提升将相应升高再生数的估计值，检测力度降低则会对应降低该估计值。
