Figure 1. Case Reproduction Numbers and Weekly Incidence in Guinea, Liberia, and Sierra Leone
Shown are the estimated case reproduction number (Rt) over time (upper panels) and the observed and projected weekly incidence (lower panels) of confirmed and probable cases of Ebola virus disease (EVD), according to the date of symptom onset, from the week beginning June 30, 2014, until the week beginning January 12, 2015, on the basis of data reported through December 7 for Guinea and November 30 for Liberia and Sierra Leone. The projections shown in the lower panels were generated from Rt estimates derived from data on case incidence (daily situation reports) for the 7 weeks through December 7 for Guinea and November 30 for Liberia and Sierra Leone (the time period delineated by the vertical dotted lines).
