Studies on COVID-19 Reproductive Number in China

Multiple epidemiological studies estimated the basic reproductive number (R0R_0) of COVID-19 in China during the early stages of the outbreak in January 2020. These studies employed various mathematical and statistical frameworks, such as SEIR (Susceptible-Exposed-Infectious-Recovered) and exponential growth models, to calculate R0R_0 based on different assumptions regarding incubation periods, serial intervals, and case reporting rates.
