Popis:	We discuss the generation of various reproduction ratios or numbers that are very useful to monitor an ongoing epidemic like Covid-19 and examine the effects of intervention measures. A detailed SEIR algorithm is described for their computation, with applications given to the current Covid-19 outbreaks in a number of countries (Argentina, Brazil, France, Italy, Mexico, Spain, UK and USA). The corresponding matlab script, complete and ready to use, is provided for free downloading. Comment: A complete matlab program (with about 500 lines) implementing the algorithm described in this work can be downloaded for free at the following URL address: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/16kLxlZyqH-QATOLQI6QWTx7qZnL3IoCP
