Serial interval and basic reproduction number of SARS-CoV-2 Omicron variant in South Korea
South Korea is experiencing the community transmission of the SARS-CoV-2 Omicron variant (B.1.1.529). We estimated that the mean of the serial interval was 2.22 days, and the basic reproduction number was 1.90 (95% Credible Interval, 1.50-2.43) for the ...

Estimation of Hospital Potential Capacity and Basic Reproduction Number [PDF]
In order to reflect the population covered by institutional medical services, the concept of hospital potential capacity is proposed and a formula for its estimation is developed based on a population dynamic model.

Global convergence of COVID-19 basic reproduction number and estimation from early-time SIR dynamics
The SIR ('susceptible-infectious-recovered') formulation is used to uncover the generic spread mechanisms observed by COVID-19 dynamics globally, especially in the early phases of infectious spread.
