^aNumber of municipalities classified as 0, 1, 2, and 3 based on the posterior estimates of exceedence probabilities (0: < 0.5, 1: 0.5–0.75, 2: 0.75–0.95 and 3: > 0.95). ^bNumber of municipalities classified as 0- zero case reported; 1-sliding average lower than 2.4; 2-sliding average was between [2.4 to 4.4); and 3– sliding average above or equal to 4.4 cases by the MH according to the current national regulations
