Calculation of the factor for approximating the number of new biologically probable infections from the number of RT-PCR + subjects in South Kivu (DRC).

Parameter Median (95% credibility interval)
Expected number of RT-PCR + subjects among 1000 alert cases 240 (203–278)
Number of biologically probable new SARS-CoV-2 infections 580 (518–640)
Multiplying factor a 2.42 (1.95–3.01)
