COVID-19 in Alberta: R values
The R value, also known as the reproduction number, describes whether cases are currently increasing, decreasing or staying the same. It tells us the average number of people that someone with COVID-19 will infect.
For example, if the R value is:
at 1, then an infected person will infect one other person, on average
below 1, it means the rate of transmission was decreasing during that period
above 1, the transmission rate was increasing
COVID-19 R values are updated weekly.
