On the Diamond Princess cruise ship, an initial estimated R$_0$ of 14.8 (approximately 4 times higher than the R$_0$ in the epicenter of the outbreak in Wuhan, China) was reduced to an estimated reproductive number of 1.78 after on-board isolation and quarantine measures were implemented

Study of 355 confirmed COVID-19 cases as of February 16, 2020 with reproductive number of 2.28 (95% CI: 2.06, 2.52). This estimate was calculated during the "early phase" of the Diamond Princess outbreak.
