R is not usually a useful measure on its own and needs to be considered alongside the number of new cases. Because of this uncertainty, The Scientific Advisory Group for Emergencies’ view is that it is unhelpful to use estimates of R rates to monitor the epidemic in different regions.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Bury St Edmunds answering member printed Jo Churchill grouped question UIN 53424 53425 53580 question first answered 08/06/2020 15:30:44 answering member 4380 label Biography information for Jo Churchill
