Fig. 4.

Drop in the reproduction number (R(t)) owing to change of behaviour in community contacts and visit of outpatients to the hospital. The overall R (lower panel) can be split into an hospital (upper panel) and person-to-person (middle panel) component. The dashed line indicates the epidemic threshold (R = 1) and the dotted line corresponds to the hospital closure (30th September). Solid, dashed and shaded red lines/area as in Fig. 3. (For interpretation of the references to color in this figure legend, the reader is referred to the web version of this article.)
