Table 2 Summary statistics for the estimated date by which 10,000 cases are reached in each African country. Reproduction numbers used for the simulation were 2.0 before and 1.0 after stay-at-home order came into force in each country. Estimates were derived under two scenarios, where the over-dispersion parameter of the offspring distribution was set at 0.10 (higher over-dispersion) and 0.58 (lower over-dispersion) respectively. Simulations were performed until 30th June, or 10,000 cases are reached, whichever is earlier, based on 1,000 model runs

From: Importations of COVID-19 into African countries and risk of onward spread
