The effective reproductive number Re indicates how many people an infected person infects on average under the current conditions. If the number is less than 1, there will be fewer new infections per day.
The number is calculated on the basis of extensive figures on the test results and other data from national and international sources.

Reproductive number Re, Switzerland, Status: 29.12.2020
The current calculated Re value depicts the infection rate across Switzerland from approximately 10 days ago. The values for the cantons and Liechtenstein are delayed by approximately 14 days. These delays occur due to the difference between the time of infection and a positive test result. The estimates may fluctuate. These fluctuations especially occur in small regions, with changing dynamics and low case numbers.
