Results from LimitationRecognizer: We detected the following sentences addressing limitations in the study:Our work has some limitations. First, in order to estimate TRs (and changes thereof) we relied upon a generalized form of the SEIR model which explicitly considers asymptomatic transmission. Thus, albeit the estimates of model parameters (or their respective search intervals) were retrieved from the literature for other countries, they could be different from the reality of the ongoing epidemic in Brazil.

First, in order to estimate TRs (and changes thereof) we relied upon a generalized form of the SEIR model which explicitly considers asymptomatic transmission. Thus, albeit the estimates of model parameters (or their respective search intervals) were retrieved from the literature for other countries, they could be different from the reality of the ongoing epidemic in Brazil. However, while the true extent of SARS-CoV-2 transmission by asymptomatic and pre-symptomatic individuals is still debated, current reports conclude that it is an important route of transmission [8, 29, 30]. Also, there are delays on the notification system that may be of different magnitudes throughout the regions in Brazil. This limitation may impact on the perception of the implemented measures as well as compromise the planning of new ones. We used mobility data from mobile phones as proxies of social isolation as measured by the SMRI. In particular, the sample of devices monitored using this technology cannot be considered a representative population sample, as state/cities with superior economic status will probably exhibit increased technology adoption by their populations, leading to better accuracy of the mobility patterns in these regions. This is in contrast to rural areas, for instance, where mobile phone usage is limited [31]. However, considering the general widespread use of mobile phones in the country (with estimates that 60% of adults report owning a smartp...
