The nowcast function of the surveillance package is used to provide situational awareness during the Covid-19 outbreak. This is a collaboration between Stockholm University, the LMU Munich and the LGL Bavaria.

For further details see the site https://corona.stat.uni-muenchen.de/ and the accompanying manuscript by Guenther et al. (2020) [1]. The nowcasts provide the basis of effective reproduction number calculations.
