A matlab code to compute reproduction numbers with applications to the Covid-19 outbreak

preprint2020arXivOpen access

Abstract

We discuss the generation of various reproduction ratios or numbers that are very useful to monitor an ongoing epidemic like Covid-19 and examine the effects of intervention measures. A detailed SEIR algorithm is described for their computation, with applications given to the current Covid-19 outbreaks in a number of countries (Argentina, Brazil, France, Italy, Mexico, Spain, UK and USA). The corresponding matlab script, complete and ready to use, is provided for free downloading.
