J Travel Med. 2022 Dec 27;29(8):taac108. doi: 10.1093/jtm/taac108.

Abstract

Estimating the effective reproduction number of Omicron subvariants is crucial for evaluating the effectiveness of control measures, and adjusting control measures promptly. We conducted a systematic review to synthesize the evidence from estimates of the reproduction numbers for Omicron subvariants, and estimated their effective reproduction number.
