Period reproduction numbers of the Middle East respiratory syndrome (MERS) in the Republic of Korea, in 2015. Estimated period reproduction number (R_t). The left panels distinguish cases into superspreaders and others, while the right panels show the distribution by visitors to multiple healthcare facilities and others. The observation period (from 11 May–29 June) is divided into three periods, and the reproduction number is assumed to be invariant in each period. The 95% CIs are indicated by dotted lines. A grey line shows the value of R_t=1.
