Notes: CI = confidence interval; COVID-19 = coronavirus disease 2019; HH = household; SHARE = Survey of Health, Ageing and Retirement in Europe; *p < 0.05, **p < 0.01, ***p < 0.001.

The outcome variable is defined as reporting symptoms compatible with COVID-19, positive tests for COVID-19, or hospitalization due to COVID-19. Models include all control variables. Full model estimates are presented in Supplementary Tables A1 and A2.
