Interesting paper from Nature Human Behaviour
here which discusses the effectiveness of different government interventions on reducing the Rt value of this disease (Rt being the real world value for R0) It covers 79 countries and uses four models to give a bit of 'oomph' to the analysis.
The paper ranks different interventions and these are the top 5 results and the drops in Rt value for one model;
- Small gathering cancellation - -0.35
- Closure of schools - -0.16
- Border restriction - -0.23
- Increased availability of PPE - -0.11
- Individual movement restrictions - -0.13
