LONDON, Aug 6 (Reuters) - The estimated COVID-19 reproduction "R" number in England has dropped sharply and could be below one, Public Health England said on Friday, implying cases might no longer be growing exponentially as they fall away from a peak hit in mid-July.
The estimated R value range was 0.8 to 1.1, compared to 1.1 to 1.4 last week. That means that for every 10 people infected, they will on average infect between 8 and 11 other people.
The estimated daily growth rate range was -3% to +1%, compared to estimated growth of between +2% to +5% each day reported last week.
