  1. aProjected total count includes both reported as well as unreported values
  2. bDefined as projected total/observed reported counts, where total is the sum of reported and unreported cases
  3. cThe test period extends from October 16 till December 31, 2020. We examine projections of cumulative cases and counts on three specific dates within that period, namely, October 31, November 30 and December 31, 2020
  4. dThe SAPHIRE model does not yield projections of active cases or cumulative deaths while the ICM model does not yield projections of cumulative reported cases, total active cases or total cumulative deaths
