  Evaluation Summary:

  This paper presents an integrated algorithm, based on several standard techniques in infectious disease epidemiology, to estimate the real-time reproductive number and show how it has evolved in different countries during COVID-19. However, the analyses should be modelled in a more integrated fashion. Uncertainty estimation requires more work. And additional data streams should be incorporated to more reliably capture infection dynamics.
