R- Naught Value a Calculating Factor

                                            

                                            R- Naught Value a Calculating Factor

'R0 value, is a mathematical value. By which we can calculate the spreading of infectious disease.

 It is also known as (R- naught value). R- naught value is the basic reproductive number of 

 any micro infectious disease.

R- naught value is using the calculating of average new person who is infected first time by

the virus or bacteria through infected person. R-naught value is calculating only for new

infected person who had no vaccination before.

BASE FOR CALCULATING R- NAUGHT VALUE  

1. Infectious Period

2. Contact Rate

3. Mode of Transmission

On the basis of  R- naught value we can calculate the Number of Hospitals, Number of Beds in   Hospitals and Number of Doctors.

Also note that, For only one disease the R- naught value would be different at different areas.

According to  the Study, The value of  R- naught for the COVID -19  is different at different areas.

The average value of  R-naught is 4.5 in the case of COVID -19. This means at least 4 to 5 persons 

are infecting by single person.
